(9,260 posts)military officials are being provided by the disgruntled opposition to Pootie in the Russian military? Not out of the question cuz high ranking commanders dont often put themselves in compromising positions.
Just a tinfoil hat theory.

(21,786 posts)it's a lot more likely that they just made themselves targets through a combination of piss-poor opsec and bad risk evaluation.

(1,276 posts)I wish Putin utter failure and regime change for Russia, but how does this publication know this? It's not like the Russians would be publicizing it.

(1,845 posts)Sorry they had to die, but they were leading part of the invading forces, trying to get things moving, putting their lives at risk, inviting any able bodied Ukrainian and perhaps some of their own troops to stop them by whatever means necessary. It was probably their own troops
I hate that I hope there will be more to follow, but I do hope especially the leaders get gone.

I would not want to be a Russian Army field grade officer on the battle field right now. You wouldnt know who is trying to kill you.
