Putin loses his military commander again after a Ukrainian attack by a British cruise missile | Ukraine and Russia war

The Ukrainian military targeted the Dona Hotel in Berdyansk, where a command post of the Russian army was located. Yesterday, the pro-Russian Telegram channel ‘Voenkory Russkoy Vesny’ reported that the general was killed after a Ukrainian attack by a British Storm Shadow long-range cruise missile. “Colleagues speak of Tskov as a capable officer and a good commander,” the Telegram channel reported announcing his death.

Russian deputy Andrei Gorolev confirmed the team’s death on a talk show broadcast on state television.

Zhukov was the deputy commander of the Southern Military District. He was promoted to Lieutenant General this year. He was wounded in Luhansk earlier in September 2022, but returned to the front. He was on the EU sanctions list for his participation in the war in Ukraine. In addition to the large-scale invasion of Ukraine, he also participated in two Chechen wars and the war in Syria.

The United Kingdom announced in early May that it was the first to deliver long-range missiles to Ukraine. The Storm Shadow provided by London has a range of over 250km, far more than any systems provided to date.

The missiles allow the Ukrainians to attack Russian command centers, which have been moved away from the front lines for fear of artillery systems such as the US Himars missile system. And this time, too, a Russian command post could have been attacked by such a cruise missile.
