Russia is receiving severe blows to the morale of its soldiers in the invasion of Ukraine, blows that are not only reflected in material losses.

The figures of the Russian military disaster in the first 15 days of the invasion of Ukraine
Russia had as many dead in Ukraine in a single week as in Afghanistan in 4 months

On March 3, the death of Major General Andrei Sukhovetsky was confirmed, the first casualty of an officer belonging to the generalship of the Russian Army during this invasion. Sukhovetsky was deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army of the Russian Ground Forces, and his death was confirmed by Russian media, as well as by Sergey Chipilev, a colleague of the deceased.

On March 7, Ukrainian sources reported the death of Major General Vitaly Gerasimov, 44, chief of staff of the 41st Combined Arms Army of the Russian Ground Forces. Gerasimov was a veteran of the Second Chechen War, the Syrian War and the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014. He would have died near Kharkov. His death has not been confirmed by Russian sources, but neither have they denied it five days later.

This Friday, March 11 at 1:16 p.m. CET, Artem Vitko, commander of the “Lugansk-1” Volunteer Battalion of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, reported the death of Major General Andrei Kolesnikov, 45, commander of the 29th Combined Arms Army of the Eastern Military District. At the moment there is no Russian confirmation, but more than 24 hours after the announcement, there has been no denial on his part either.

According to the Russian site Valenteshop.ru, in the ten years that the Afghanistan War lasted (1979-1989), 4 Soviet generals died. In half a month Russia is already about to reach that figure with the invasion of Ukraine.

Yesterday, official Ukrainian sources noted that there are about 20 generals in the Russian forces that are part of the invasion of Ukraine. Three of them have already died. The Russian people are unaware of these facts since the Kremlin has imposed a strict censorship in relation to the invasion of Ukraine, prohibiting it from calling it or using the term "war" and threatening journalists who spread "false news" with up to 15 years in prison, that is, those who disagree with the slogans and lies of official Russian propaganda.
