It's being reported yet another Russian general is KIA

Which brings the total to 4 now, I think. They must have intel helping them find them.

Snip:
In addition, the Azov Battalion in Mariupol release a photo of a killed Russian Major General in the city.

American Generals tend to lead from the rear, at least since the Korean War. So, are Russian Generals at the front line with their troops?

Foolishly they destroyed most of the towers and now cannot communicate from the rear and have had to move up to get orders out. Also, there's some mention of bad morale and troops needing a firmer hand.

I'm increasingly hopeful Russia is going to have serious regrets over Ukraine everyday. Let's hope it ends up being true.

The Russians fought defense for most of the War and their Generals needed to be at the front to best determined which points to feed the Red Army into the wood chipper.
