Russian President Vladimir Putin's army has reportedly suffered yet another loss of a high-ranking military officer in Ukraine.
Col. Alexei Sharov, commander of the 810th Guards Brigade of the Russian Marines, is the latest Russian military officer to die in the war, according to Ukrainian officials. Sharov was reportedly killed Tuesday in Mariupol, and his death adds to the mounting losses Russian combat forces are taking in Ukraine, with one report tallying 15 top Russian commanders killed in the war thus far.
Yet another senior Russian officer terminated in Ukraine. The Ukrainian military claims to have killed Alexei Sharov, commander of the 810th Guards Brigade of the Russian Marines#StopRussia pic.twitter.com/SWg46i53Q3 High mortality of RF senior officers is striking. Already 6 generals killed: Maj Gens Tushayev, Gerasimov, Kolesnikov, Sukhovetsky, Mityaev & Lt Gen Mordvichev. Dozens of colonels & other officers. I.e. RF army is fully unprepared & fights only with numbers & cruise missiles.
Many Russian military leaders are using unsecured phones and radios, the report said. In at least one case, Ukrainian forces intercepted a general’s call, determined his location, and killed him and his staff.
