Russian general 'liquidated' by Storm Shadow missile in Ukraine: report
|
 [NYPOST] A high-ranking Russian general has been killed in a Storm Shadow missile strike in an occupied Ukrainian city, according to reports from both countries.
Lt. Gen. Oleg Tsokov died Monday when a barrage of cruise missiles obliterated the Dune Hotel in Berdiansk in the southern Zaporizhzhia region, where Russian military commanders had been quartered.
"It is reported that today in the Berdiansk area, the Russian Lieutenant General Oleg Yuriyovych Tsokov was liquidated," Petro Andriushchenko, adviser to the Ukrainian mayor of Mariupol, gleefully wrote in his Telegram channel.
Andriushchenko noted that in September 2022, Tsokov, then commander of Russia’s 144th Motorized Rifle Division, had been gravely maimed in action but survived.
"Now they say that his mobilization into the grave has been completed," the mayor’s adviser darkly joked.
Yurii Mysyagin, a member of Ukraine’s parliament, also seemed to celebrate the general’s violent mostly peaceful mostly peaceful demise.
"The British ’Storm Shadow’ came to visit accurately," he commented, referring to the long-range cruise missiles jointly developed by the UK and La Belle La Belle France that were supplied to Ukraine in May.
