I wish Russia can do that.
They have a war to win. They have weapons to produce. They have economy to stabilize. If you think they will start propaganda war to suit an unknown African, you must be high on lizard faeces.

And yet they still haven't won the war?
They invaded tiny insignificant Ukraine and 3 months later,their claim to superiority is if they publicize the dead and surrendering Ukrainians?
Shame no dey catch and Putin?
In your village, wars are won under 3 months? Nigeria has been fighting Boko Haram for more than 13 years now and you are not thinking of that, but Russia demilitarizing Ukraine with weapons backing from NATO/USA should be done swiftly. You must think war is call of duty.

Shut up you brat. Do you understand what it means to be called a champion? Putin is a war criminal, and must face the consequences.

25 year old soldier who is not a general died and you are here masturbating vigorously over it. If Russia is to publicize the Ukrainians dying and surrendering, you will definitely quit Nairaland.

You called me Putin's PR and I called you Putin's lover. For you to want me banned simply means you are intolerant of others views. No wonder on the Ukraine issue, you aggressively defend your lies and propaganda as if you know world politics more than everyone. What you know is simply a miniscule. While the war in Ukraine is going on, hope you have progressed with your life[/s].

You are clearly on some kind of crack and now seeing things cheesy

Someone called you Putin's PR which you should be proud of as someone very supportive of his nonsense but you turned around and called that person Zelenskyys homosexual partner.

Are you sure you are normal or sitting on the steps of Yaba left.

You claim not be a supporter of war but you support what Putin is doing in Ukraine.

You are clearly a credible candidate for a psychiatric home.

NB Joyandfaith one nutjob here is claiming you are me and I am you

If you see my signature i don't like replying such people because ridicule is the first and last argument of a fool.

A 'hero' Russian world champion in an international tank warfare competition was killed when he was sent by Vladimir Putin into a real battle in Ukraine.

Bato Basanov, 25, from Buryatia, was in a record-breaking tank biathlon team that performed last year in war games in front of defence minister Sergei Shoigu and chief of the army general staff Valery Gerasimov.

But his conflict ended in death when his tank was hit in Ukraine.

He is the latest of dozens of men from his impoverished region some 3,500 miles east of Moscow to be killed in Putin's war.

As two bereft mothers in grief-stricken Buryatia spoke about collecting the bodies of their sons, one reportedly said to the other: 'You're lucky because your son's body arrived intact. Mine came back as a head and two hands.'

Basanov, a corporal, had been hailed last year for 'glorifying Russia by becoming a world champion in tank biathlon as part of his team'.

Uniquely, he shot without missing a single target at speeds of up to 50mph at the Alabino training ground in Moscow region.

Yet as a report from Volya Media said: 'The death of Bato Basanov is grim confirmation that tank biathlon and real war are completely different things.'

Russian commanders Shoigu and Gerasimov saw regular tank biathlon competitions as key military prestige events, yet the huge death toll of Russian forces shows they were not ready for real war.

Basanov — whose Russian T-72B3 team beat soldiers from 19 countries in combat games including China — was shown being presented to Gerasimov, now in charge of Putin's flailing war effort.

Yet an anonymous Russian military expert has blamed Putin's government for botched modernisation of tanks, leaving them worse in optics and targeting technology than Ukraine's older tanks which were upgraded with Western equipment.

'Combat training in [Russian] tank units is disgusting,' he added.

The 'shortcomings' have led to Russia's dismal performance in the war, he said.

Basanov was a gunner of the first company of the tank battalion of the 37th separate guards motorised rifle brigade of the Russian Air Defence Forces.

The body of the 'hero' took seven weeks to be retrieved and returned to his family for a funeral on Friday

His friends and family said in a joint statement: 'Bato was an open, responsive, very sociable man, a faithful comrade and friend, who was always ready to come to the rescue.

'Cheerful, smiling and sincere, Bato has always been the pride of our family, a kind, honest, much-loved son.'


Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin has suffered the loss of his 38th colonel in the war in Ukraine as the Russian top brass toll worsens.

Lieutenant Colonel Fyodor Evgenievich Solovyov, 44, died in the Donbas, according to reports in his homeland.

His death was revealed as the Russian armed forces today rehearsed in Moscow for Monday’s vast military parade on Red Square marking the end of the Second World War.


Solovyov was commander of the howitzer self-propelled artillery regiment of the 127 motorised rifle division.

He was buried with full military honours and a triple volley of guns in Chunaki village, Penza region
.

A Russian report said: “He died as a hero on the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic.”

Details were not given as to how he was killed but he was posthumously awarded Russia’s Order of Courage.

Nine generals and 38 colonels have been killed since 24 February in Putin’s war according to known statistics, although Russia has not come clean on total fatalities.

Reports have claimed that the US has offered intelligence to Ukraine to help target high ranking commanders, destroying morale in Russian forces.

Solovyov’s death was disclosed four days after the 37th known colonel to die in Ukraine - Lt-Col Eduard Dmitriev - was reported to have been killed.

Dmitriev, 44, a tank commander, was buried in his native Kirov region.
