“Another loss among the senior command staff of the occupying army,” the department claimed on Monday.

“During the fighting near Kharkiv, Vitaly Gerasimov, a Russian military leader, major general, chief of staff and first deputy commander of the 41st Army of the Central Military District of Russia, was killed. A number of senior Russian army officers were also killed and wounded.

“Vitaly Gerasimov took part in the second Chechen war and the Russian military operation in Syria. He received a medal ‘for the return of the Crimea,’” they added.

“The data obtained also indicate significant problems with communication in the occupier’s army and with the evacuation of their broken units.”
