Ukrainian forces have reportedly killed a fifth Russian general this week during the brutal but slow-moving war launched by Vlad the Invader Putin on February 24. Maj. Gen. Oleg Mityaev, the commander of the 150th motorized rifle division, was killed Tuesday during the storming of the southern city of Mariupol, according to Interior Ministry advisor Anton Gerashchenko.
He later posted a photo of the body as proof, stating that Mityaev was “one of the most promising and iconic Russian military leaders,” claimed Gerashchenko as he celebrated “the liquidation of the general.”
“This is a serious blow to the morale of Russian commanders. And the huge success of the Heroes of Mariupol,” Gerashchenko wrote. And this isn’t hyperbole.
