Russia and Ukraine flashpoint

[Ryuu96]

So the Russian officer (Girkin) who started the Donbas war in 2014 is in jail, the only Russian general to carry out a successful maneuver in 2022 (Surovikin) has been relieved of duty, and the only Russian commander to take a city in 2023 (Prigozhin) has been murdered.

Forgot that Surovikin, Butcher of Syria, was shit-canned too for his role in the coup.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's dead too.
