Zelenskyy on Russian Defense Minister: "he went to Chornobaivka" (Original Post)

(15,201 posts)1. Shall I take it that "went to Chornobaivka" translates to "bought the farm"?
I tried to Google the phrase, and one of the first hits I saw was a link to fucking Pravda.
Google should be, if not totally suppressing, strongly down-rating links to Pravda these days.

Hope someone can figure it out. It made me laugh though.

The Ukrainians blew the shit out of a bunch of helicopters there. I assume that's the reference, but I think it lost something in the translation.

Russians have been destroyed 10 times so far at Chornobaikva. They keep coming, they keep dying. It's pretty much a joke now.
Thats the name of a town associated with Kherson Airfield, which Ukraine attacked after it was seized by Russia, and which continues to be attacked by Ukraine with apparently good progress.
