Lieutenant General Yakov Rezanstev is the seventh general Ukraine claims to have killed since Russia invaded.

Oleksiy Arestovych, a Ukrainian presidential adviser, first announced the death.

He said Rezanstev died amid intense fighting at Chornobaivka airfield, a site near Kherson which Russian forces have been using as a command post.

Rezanstev was commander of Russia’s 49th Combined Arms Army, a unit previously stationed in the Southern Military District on Ukraine’s border.

Days after the invasion began, Rezantsev was confident the Russian campaign would be successful within a matter of hours, according to a conversation intercepted by the Ukrainian army.
