This thread is fake news and disinformation.

If this really happened - it will be all over the news. The guy just made it up in his head like Ukrainian propagandists do 90% of the time like they did with “Ghost of Kiev”.

Gen. Gerasimov who they claimed was injured gave defence briefings earlier today, lol.

Out of all the one billion Russia officers and Generals they claimed they killed - there’s only one proof. All the rest are alive and on the frontline. The Chechen officer they claimed they killed on a first week in Kiev was seen two weeks later in Kiev controlling a drone and was in LPR last week. 3 others they claimed were killed were seen in a video with Kadyrov (Chechen leader) in Mariupol a week later.

This is just basically psyops since they’re taking a beating on the eastern front and Ukrainian defence should collapse in the coming weeks. They do this every time they take heavy losses and have nothing to put out.

Heeeellllooo

Fake News

MOSCOW TIMES says hello

sangresan:
Gerasimov to lead Russian forces?

Lol. You don't know nothing. Continue to copy and paste from discredited Western blogs.

Why don't you try discrediting MOSCOW TIMES.

They are Western media too right?

Are you gonna risk the lives of the innocent citizen because Ukrainians want an open-door policy towards Russia–but not a Russian takeover?

Millions of citizens fled the country alrdy..
Some are likely not to return again...

Fighting a superior is not the answer
Dialogue is the answer

[/s]

Once again, you are not Ukrainian. This is not the 1st or 4th time they are witnessing unprovoked Russian aggression.

To them this is the last straw and like you get tired to a bully and fight back, this is their time to fight back against their bully

BigDawsNet:
Dude you need to understand what's going on here...

Putin will not come on air tommor to declare full stop on the war...
His so stubborn and he has been preparing for this for decades...
He lost men and generals alrdy... his upset!
I hate he had to made a decision to attack Ukraine...
The Ukrainians are very good loving people... but they can't match Russia...

Even the US and the UK hav refused to get involved physically... they all don't wanna start what will be to hard to finish....

I wish there can be a dialogue today, and put an end to the war...

The fact, putin is not backing out...
And I still want the Ukraine nation to stand again...

Let the both president meet and discuss their demands....

[/s]

Who cares? So a sovereign nation should bow to the emotional whims and caprices of a sulking adult?

Common mehn... we all know Russia are fighting the Nato's not just Ukraine... the support Ukraine is getting, both men and weaponry will definitely hav an effect on one single country Russia!!...

I love the Ukrainians but they really need to surrender... Russia will not back off..they lost couple of guys alrdy..

The war should stop now or they may force him to send out some nukes...
The aftermath will look so ugly

Good thing you are not Ukrainian because you do not have a single bone of Patriotism in you.

So Ukrainians should Surrender to the Russian Invaders and become subservient to them?

You need to bury your head in the sand because it's your kind who lack values in life

Next time before accusing random pple online of being senseless, check yourself first.

That's a different Gerasimov oga. Even the face is much younger than this Gerasimov and that alone should let you know that they are different. One is a chief of staff while the other commands a regimen. Stop being confused

BigDawsNet:
Russia blow itself up?

They are one of the most advanced country in the world...

They are too smart to make silly mistakes

They are actually dumb.

They stole about $5m worth of farm equipment from Ukraine and were taking them back to Ukraine but the Ukrainians demobilized the equipment on the way so it is now useless to Russians.

Yes they are that stupid to think manufacturers of such equipment in this day and age do not include trackers and demobilizers

motymop:
So you believe that a chief of staff goes to war

Oga he was sent by Putin to carry out a specific assignment. Even their own Moscow times carried the news.

Or did they lie too?

ussv:
Where una dey get all this news ? i don`t see them in other outlets. Lots of fake news going on like Putin is sick and has Cancer, that is false .

Even Moscow times carried the news so let me help you. It appears you only focus on RT the Russian lying propaganda wing.

olugabbie:
Nope!

I know very well.

I repeat, this is the first time because this is the first time he left Russia for Ukraine under Putin's directive.

He was never in charge of the war in Ukraine but due to a change of command Putin sent him there.

Truvelisback:
What is Chief of Staff doing in a war front?

Read the OP or watch the video

olugabbie:
This same man (Valery Gerasimov) was Russian first general the Ukranians claimed they killed.

You have your names confused. This is the first time his name is being mentioned to anything injury or death

Update!

Vladimir Putin's top military commander has been flown out of the war zone with shrapnel wounds after being to sent to Ukraine by the Russian president to secure victory, a former Russian internal affairs minister has claimed.

Valery Gerasimov, the chief of staff of the Russian army, was today wounded in Izium in Ukraine's Kharviv region, which has been at the centre of intense fighting since Russia's invasion.

Putin had sent Gerasimov to the region to take personal control of his push to grab territory in eastern Ukraine, after the Russian army abandoned its plans to take Kyiv at the end of March in favour of a concentrated assault on the Donbas region of Donetsk and Luhansk.

An unofficial Russian source reported that Gerasimov sustained 'a shrapnel wound in the upper third of the right leg without a bone fracture.

'The shard was removed - there is no danger to life,' he said.

But Gerasimov's injury was severe enough to have him flown away from the frontlines and back to Russia to undergo further treatment, marking another embarrassing defeat for Putin's forces.

The chief of staff's injury came just one day after Russian Major General Andrei Simonov, 55, was killed in Kharkiv, according to an adviser to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.

He is Russia's ninth general to have been killed since the start of the invasion.

Ukrainian interior ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko said the precision strike on Izium was 'the very place where…Gerasimov, who personally came to lead the attack on Slavyansk, was located'.

A 'large number' of senior officers were killed in the attack which wounded Gerasimov, Gerashchenko said.

Pro-Ukrainian Telegram channel Vertikal also alleged Gerasimov had been 'wounded near Izium', citing unspecified sources.

'Our source reports that his legs and hips are damaged,' Vertikal said.

It suggested that three of Gerasimov's entourage had been killed before he was evacuated.

Russia is believed to have sustained heavy casualties in the eastern Donbas region and around cities Kharkiv and Izium, as Ukraine's armed forces continue their bitter defence of the Donetsk and Luhansk territories which have been partially occupied by Moscow-backed separatists since 2014.

Russia's military leaders are pouring troops and equipment into the east of Ukraine in an attempt to force a bloody victory after they abandoned plans to blitz through Ukraine's north and seize Kyiv earlier in the war.

Britain's ministry of defence yesterday said Putin's troops in the east are still struggling to make ground despite the renewed support, citing poor tactics and the deployment of low-skilled troops as reasons for the slow progress.

'Shortcomings in Russian tactical coordination remain. A lack of unit-level skills and inconsistent air support have left Russia unable to fully leverage its combat mass, despite localised improvements,' the MoD tweeted.

'Russia hopes to rectify issues that have previously constrained its invasion by geographically concentrating combat power, shortening supply lines and simplifying command and control,' it said.

Hmmm

The way things are going, Russia would soon be out of options, and they'll deploy nukes.

Ukrainian forces are really giving him a bloody nose

May Day Gone bad for those Russian Marines

The Ukrainian military destroyed two Russian Raptor-type boats near Snake Island at dawn on May 2.

They were hit by a Bayraktar drone.

This was announced on May 2 by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny.

“Today at dawn, two Russian Raptor-type boats were destroyed near Snake Island. Bayraktar is working. Together for Victory!” he wrote and released the corresponding video.

Each Raptor - type boat carries 3 crew and 20 Marines so they may have had 46 crew onboard in total.

The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine (Міноборони) just released a dramatic video showing one of its TB2 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) striking two assault boats of the Russian Navy.

According to the Ukrainian MoD, the two vessels were Raptor-class assault boats. They were struck in the vicinity of the now famous “Snake Island” (Zmiinyi Island), located roughly 70 nautical miles south of Odessa. The time stamp in the video, recorded directly from the UAV EO/IR system shows that the dual strike took place today, 2 May 2022.



About TB2

According to its manufacturer, Bayraktar from Turkey, TB2 is a Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE), Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle capable of conducting Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and armed attack missions. A number of systems have been delivered to Ukraine (some of them for the Ukrainian Navy) before and during Russia’s invasion. They have been used effectively by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The TB2 reportedly played a role in the sinking of Moskva. Following the loss of their flagship, this is yet another blow to the Russian Navy.

This is likely the first ever actual naval warfare engagement of the Turkish-made TB2. The Turkish Navy demonstrated how effective the UAV could be in naval warfare about one year ago, when the TB2 engaged a target at sea for the first time:

Elvictor:
So, Russia doesn't own defense system?

And, in your opinion, 40km is an easy route for tanks to navigate, right?

So Russian defence system covers every nook and cranny of Russia?

It's clear I am having a conversation with a kid

Elvictor:
So, Russia cannot prepare and stop tanks moving in such pace towards their borders?

Face palm

I guess tanks would be easier to quickly get to the Russian border in the face of surface to land missiles which Ukraine also has.

Kharkiv is 40km from Russian border

Ukrainian Tochka missiles have a range of 120km

Do you still require an elementary school explanation to understand the above?

topcatking:
It's obvious you are just another ignorant kid. I'm done . Bye

Run boy run. You reek of putrid ignorance bro

Elvictor:
I don't own a car, how about tanks? How many hrs, will it take to cross the border into Russia?

Tanks shouldn't take more than 2hrs or an hour and half from Russia to Kharkiv and that is still super close

Elvictor:
Do you know the distance of 40km?

40 km is approximately a 1hr drive by car. You clearly do not own a car which is why you asked this very dumb Question.

40km is approximately the distance from Lekki to Festac so that is Super close

topcatking:
Don't be daft!

Are those villages of strategic importance?

If they were, You think Russia would leave?

My grouse with people like you is that you can not phrase an objection or a counter argument without being insultive.

Courtesy is a thing

Russia did not leave they were driven and bombed out by the Ukrainian forces.

Kharkiv is about 40km from the Russian border but your rather small mind believes it is not of significant importance to Russia during a war where they want to contain Ukrainian advancement from their borders.

You will keep getting insulted due to your very empty skull

topcatking:
Take back? Lets be realistic. They were never held by Russians, they were only occupied in transit.

Who will hold something that is of no strategic importance?

But well... Ukraine and Ukrainians also need some "feel good news" , so...

Put some grease on your wheels of pain bro...I can feel your pain all the way from here... Those wheels need a lot of anti pain grease

Bluntguy:
American backed Ukrainian forces you mean. This is more like the biblical hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob.

Did they take back the territories or not? Leave who get hand and voice

Krismas:
have u been to Russia b4? U conclude foolishly by sitting in ur room that nobody is in Russia? Mumu. Russia’s one of the world’s largest seller of arms and ammunitions. The AK47 ur army is using popularly called KALA on the street is Russian invention, yet to u, Russia is only about nuclear weapons? They don’t run visa lottery or so that’s why u think people don’t go there. The world system is about to be divided into two, America and her allies on one side, then Russia China and allies on the other. Its soon u will find out, that America is just a hype, a scam and noise maker.

You are so pathetic.

This is the real story behind that picture.
