BBC News has this report on the latest Russian general iced by Ukrainian forces:
"Maj Gen Roman Kutuzov was killed leading an assault on a Ukrainian settlement in the region, a reporter with the state-owned Rossiya 1 said.
Alexander Sladkov said Gen Kutuzov had been commanding troops from the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic.
Russia's defence ministry has not commented on the reports.
'The general had led soldiers into attack, as if there are not enough colonels,' Mr Sladkov wrote on the Telegram social media app. 'On the other hand, Roman was the same commander as everyone else, albeit a higher rank.'
Ukraine's military also confirmed the killing of Gen Kutuzov, without offering further details about the circumstances.
His death comes as rumours circulated on social media that a second senior officer, Lt Gen Roman Berdnikov, commander of the 29th Army, was also killed in fighting over the weekend. The BBC cannot independently verify the claims.
Russian commanders have been increasingly forced to the front in an attempt to drive forward the invasion and Moscow has confirmed the deaths of four senior generals." (our emphasis)
Most news sources can confirm as many as 10 Russian Generals killed to date. Putin's brutal aggressive war for territory against Ukraine has exposed so many things: his poor strategic judgement, his failure to recognize how fiercely Ukrainians would oppose him, and how ill-prepared his invading army was in terms of logistics, morale, command and control and much more.
