Maybe an e-cigarette blew up in his face? Smoking is proving to be dangerous.

These Russians all look the same to me…..

Seriousl, identity not confirmed, just speculation at the moment.

Meanwhile…

Is Russia now so short of manpower that it simply can't defend strategically vital areas near Kharkiv? A fascinating spot by @ItsArtoir (go follow him!) suggests this might be the case, and suggests some major discontent in the Russian army. A short 🧵 follows.

That was the identification I posted earlier but deleted as it was a false id. It was confirmed as a colonel lieutenant, not the lieutenant general.

Link the confirmation I have seen no official statement one way or the other. Pretty sure Girkin said they reviewing the identity on the person in question

I posted a link ages ago to him, translation

A "lieutenant colonel" was taken prisoner, this is Lieutenant General Andrei Sychevoi, commander of the "WEST" grouping. Like, he changed into the uniform of a lieutenant colonel and wanted to quietly leave the city. Looks like..?
Seems the orc that was shown in the video on his knees is Lieutenant General Andrei Sychevoi (Андрей Сычевой) commander of the "West" group. He changed into lieutenant uniform and attempted to escape unrecognized (that's why he looks away from the camera)


TAKEN: Yesterday, videos featured a RU officer captured on the Kharkiv front. He was assumed to be a local commander-- he was, in fact, Lieutenant General Andrei Sychevoi, General in command RU’s “West” Group. Sychevoi is the most senior Russian officer captured since WW II.

Rank in above image is Major general

Though balder in this, personal grooming not available in the field? has looted some Regain??

I can't be sure since information conflicts, but there was info that the Lieutenant General Andrei Sychevoi was already transferred to Western military district a month ago hence very unlikely to be in Balakliya.
I am more than happy to be corrected, once eg Ukrainian officials or Russian officials confirm this.

And guns from 1948, maybe they heard on the grapevine that the allies were sending lancaster and B-17's

To my observation of the Twitter feeds last night, Nutty's links are 3rd tier echo chamber. When the first pictures of the captured officer appeared nobody suggested it's a general at all. Especially that tweet 'now confirmed' only links from a disussion which explicitly said it is not the same person.

When watching this video English speaking folks will not recognise one important fact – liberated ladies speak pure Russian and soldiers speak Ukrainian. There goes Putin's fallacy that Russian army invaded Ukraine to protect Russian speaking inhabitants. Even Ukrainian citizens of Russian nationality know very well who is the enemy.

Looks like it’s now a riot, limited by the speed at which UKR forces can advance….

“Kupyansk” - Good lord, what’s going on.

Getting heated.

Russian channel: "No Ukrainian groups entered Kupyansk".

A channel with 450k responds: "Stop lying you f*cking c*nts. What is happening is all due to dump lying. In reports, motherf*cking slides and other sh*t, r*tards".

This was a priceless find.

Reporting clearly and to the point, 5 minute summaries. Always released 1 day later and aiming to paint a realistic view.

Well worth reviewing a few days back (5 at least).

Aviation content

So far, we have only seen AGM-88 HARM in use with Ukrainian MiG-29 jets.

However, evidence has now emerged showing the powerful Su-27S (Notably in an older colour scheme) apparently carrying two HARM missiles; another boost to UkAF SEAD capability.

Morale…..

A Russian Telegram channel claims that the commander of the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division evacuated from Izyum two days ago even though some of his forces are still in the area.
