Kremlin general killed by Russian landmine?
Russian Major General Savadski dies in Ukraine. A landmine is said to have claimed the life of the deputy commander of an army corps. It is possible that his own troops planted the explosive device.
According to consistent reports, Russian Major General Vladimir Savadski has been killed in the Ukraine. As graduates of the Higher Command School for Combined Arms in Moscow reported online, the deputy commander of the 14th Army Corps died on Tuesday. Ukrainian media also reported on Savadski's death, citing Kiev army circles.
The Telegram channel VChK-OGPU, which is said to have links to Russian security services, announced that Sadawski had died as a result of a mine explosion behind the front line. It is suspected that the landmine was planted by Russian soldiers to combat Ukrainian reconnaissance units. The Russian online newspaper Lenta, which is close to the state, also wrote of a fatal mine explosion. According to the newspaper, Savadski died in the vicinity of Isjum in the Kharkiv region. Units of the 14th Army Corps, which is subordinate to the Russian Northern Fleet, fought on the flanks of the city of Bakhmut in the summer.
According to media reports, Savadski graduated from the Higher Command School for Combined Arms in Moscow in 2000 and later studied at the General Military Academy of the Russian Armed Forces. His face was reportedly used by Russian military propaganda for recruitment purposes at a young age. Over the course of his career, Savadsky served as deputy commander of a tank regiment and chief of staff of a motorized rifle brigade, among other positions. From 2018 to 2021, he commanded the 4th Guards Armored Division.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet confirmed Savadski's death. According to the Russian military, six of its own generals have died in Ukraine since the start of the war of aggression in February 2022. Ukraine estimates that around a dozen generals have died. The information cannot be independently verified.
The loss of a high-ranking officer always means "temporary local chaos" for the Russian military, Ukrainian ex-soldier and journalist Viktor Kovalenko told the US magazine Newsweek some time ago. The background to this is that Russian units are not allowed to "operate independently". Moreover, the troops are not even trained for this.
The ongoing 'Wars and conflicts' in Ukraine have resulted in significant losses for both sides, with Russia reporting the death of Major General Vladimir Savadski in a 'Military' incident. According to various sources, Savadski was killed by an 'Attack on Ukraine' on Tuesday, with speculations suggesting that a landmine planted by Russian soldiers may have been the cause.
