Ukraine says it has killed another Russian general, the fourth since the invasion began last month.
Major General Oleg Mityaev was killed Tuesday during the Russian assault on the city of Mariupol, Anton Gerashchenko, an advisor to Ukraine’s Interior Ministry, wrote on Telegram Wednesday.
Gerashchenko posted a photo of what he said was Mityaev’s body as evidence. Insiders could not verify the authenticity of the image and Russia has not commented on the claim.
Recall that Ukrainian troops had killed Maj. Gen. Vitaly Gerasimov, Maj. Gen. Andrey Kolesnikov and Maj. Gen. Andrei Sukhovetsky of the Russian Army.
Speaking on Tuesday night, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed the Russian offensive was losing steam.
In recent days, Zelenskyy has used his video addresses to plead with Russian soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender.
