[SAHARAREPORTERS] Russia has lost another of its generals in the war in Ukraine, Kyiv military sources said, as Ukraine inflicts punishing losses on Moscow's war machine, Daily Mail reports.Lieutenant General Yakov Rezantsev, 48, commander of the army's 49th combined arms division, became the fifth general to be killed after being taken out in a strike by the Ukrainian armed forces.
The general's death means the Russian army has now lost a staggering 15 military commanders in a month, as Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...'s invading forces suffer heavy losses at the hands of dogged Ukrainian defenders.
Rezantsev, who bragged on just the fourth day of the war that it would be over in a matter of hours, was apparently killed after the Ukrainian army destroyed the commanding post of the 49th Russian Army in Southern Ukraine.
It is not clear the exact location of the strike.
A soldier claimed Rezantsev told them on the fourth day of their deployment, "It's no secret to anyone that there are only a few hours until this special operation is over.
"And now those hours are still going."
7th Russian general killed in Ukraine, senior commander murdered by own troops — report
[IsraelTimes] Another Russian military general has been killed and a senior commander murdered by his own troops in Ukraine, The National reports, citing Western officials.
Yakov Rezantsev was the seventh Russian general killed since the start of the invasion. Only 13 others remain.
Separately, a colonel in charge of the 37th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade was killed by his own soldiers, The National reports.
"We believe he was killed by his own troops deliberately as a consequence of the scale of losses that had been taken by his brigade," a Western security official says during a briefing. "That gives an insight into some of the morale challenges that Russian forces are having."
