Who Was Dmitry Safronov? Russian Lieutenant Colonel Killed In Ukraine

Lieutenant Colonel Dmitry Safronov, Commander of the Russian Armed Forces’ 61st Separate Marine Brigade, has been killed during the fight of Chhuiv.

Russian Marine officers, as well as a slew of other insurgents, were killed when Ukrainian forces reclaimed Chhuiv from Russia, as previously stated.

“The city of Chuhuiv was freed during fighting,” the basic employees claimed.

“The occupants sustained significant troop and equipment losses,” he continued.

Chuhuiv, a town of about 30,000 people in the north east of Ukraine, was one of the first to be overrun by the Russians.

An apartment block in the city was shelled heavily a week ago, leading to the death of a young boy.

A woman was also caught up and injured in the blast.

Firefighters work on a fire on a building after bombings on town before the Russians moved in.

More than 11,000 Russian soldiers had died and 290 tanks destroyed in the course of the invasion.

Forty-six planes and 68 helicopters had been downed, the army chief said.

So far the Ukrainian resistance forces have mostly foiled Russian plans to overwhelm the defences of the country’s major cities.

The biggest prize the Russians have claimed so far is the city of Kherson, which fell into their hands four days ago.
