The Western official also confirmed Ukrainian reports that a lieutenant general commanding the 49th Combined Arms Army had died in the fighting, making him the seventh Russian general to be killed in combat since the invasion began.

Ukrainian presidential spokesman Oleksiy Arestovych earlier named the lieutenant general as Yakov Ryazantsev, and said he had been killed at the Chernobaevka aerodrome outside the southern city of Kherson — where Russian forces have repeatedly suffered losses in their campaign to break out from the Crimean peninsula to the northwest.

Oh, and that brigade commander who deliberately was run over by his own tank? Cargo 200.
