Russian Officer Complains About Dead General and Comms Meltdown in Intercepted Call

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Ukrainian defence ministry has a released audio from a call which it claims captured two Russian officers lamenting the death of a top general and the collapse of its secure communications network in Ukraine.

In the call—which has been verified by Bellingcat, the fact-checking group known for exposing Kremlin misinformation—two purported Russian FSB officers are heard discussing the death of a general killed in fighting near Kharkiv, which has been hammered by shelling this month.

Ukraine’s defence ministry named the general as Vitaly Gerasimov, chief of staff of the 41st Army, and Bellingcat reported that it had confirmed the death with Russian sources. In its statement, Ukraine’s defense intelligence agency said Gerasimov had been “liquidated” alongside “a number of senior Russian army officers” in fighting near Kharkiv.

If Gerasimov’s death is confirmed, he would be the second Russian general to be killed in Ukraine within a week following the death of the 41st Army’s deputy commander, Andrei Sukhovetsky. A pro-Putin Chechnyan general, Magomed Tushayev, was also reported to have been killed.

1. I understand the correctness in comparing vlad to Hitler, but some perspective perhaps...

This is like Hitler trying to communicate with his Atlantic Fleet via Western Union.

Yes, they're gonna shell Kyiv next week, and yes its gonna be bad.
But am I the only one who ALSO feels like they're about ten days from own-goal-ing heir way into turning over ownership of St Basils Cathedral to some farmers on the internet, and didnt even mean to?!
