A Russian top Army chief has been killed in the crisis between Russia and Ukraine.
Maj. Gen. Andrei Sukhovetsky, was killed on the battle ground, according to report.
Ukrainian officials said its forces killed Russian Maj. Gen. Andrei of Russia’s 29th Army, the third of his rank—the equivalent of a U.S. brigadier general—to die in fighting since the invasion began.
Sukhovetsky was killed while fighting in Ukraine, according to a statement from the Novorossiysk city government.
In the statement, the government said Sukhovetsky, who is the deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army of the Russian Ground Forces, died “while performing a combat mission during a special operation in Ukraine.”
He had previously served in the Russian military during operations in the North Caucasus region and Syria, the statement said.
Ukraine released no details about his death, which hasn’t been confirmed by Moscow. Western officials have confirmed all three deaths. The Russian Defense Ministry didn’t respond to a request for comment.
They were said to have achieved the feat in Brovary, northeast of Kyiv.
