News From the Ukraine War

There is one aspect of this that really caught my attention. Two Russian Generals Reported Killed as Ukraine Invasion Becomes ‘Clusterf**k’

A pair of Russian generals, Maj. Gen. Vitaly Gerasimov and Maj. Gen. Andrei Sukhovetsky, have reportedly been killed.

The Russians have confirmed that Sukhovetsky was killed Feb. 28 by a Ukrainian sniper near Mariupol, while Gerasimov was reportedly killed Monday near Kharkiv.

Ukraine’s defense ministry released audio of an intercepted call from a Russian intelligence officer that appears to confirm that Gerasimov was killed along with several other senior Russian officers, although the nature of the Ukrainian attack involved is unknown.

I'm a bit surprised that the Russians admitted anything about a general being killed.

And one more thing...

Having two major generals killed in the span of a week is one measure of how badly the Russian invasion has gone, and the fact that their communications are being intercepted is another measure. [My emphasis. Z-Deb]

If you look into the article linked by The Other McCain, there is reference to "civilian" radios, which I take to be open communications without encryption, in captured and destroyed Russian vehicles.
