Russian Troops Kill Brigade Commander Over Heavy Casualties Suffered in Ukraine War
A Russian brigade commander in Ukraine has been killed by his own mutinous troops amid anger at the scale of the casualties they are taking, Western officials have said.
Colonel Medvechek, commanding the Russian 37th Motor Rifle Brigade, is believed to have been deliberately mown down.
One official said: ‘The brigade commander was killed by his own troops, we believe, as a consequence of the scale of losses that have been taken by his brigade.
‘We believe that he was killed by his own troops deliberately. We believe that he was run over by his own troops.’
The same official said the lieutenant-general commanding the Russian 49th Combined Arms Army has also died in the fighting.
He is the seventh Russian general officer to be killed in combat since the invasion began a month ago – more than a third of those deployed at the start of the operation.
