Who Was Ivan Grishin? Russia Loses Another Commander General In Ukraine

With the killing of another colonel, the toll from Vladimir Putin’s cruel war in Ukraine continues to increase.

Colonel Ivan Grishin, commander of the 49th anti-aircraft missile brigade, died of shrapnel wounds to the abdomen. He was killed near Kharkiv. The announcement comes as the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces says that 20,600 Russian personnel have been killed in the conflict.

Smolensk MP Artem Malashchenkov stated, ‘Sleep well, dear friend, your death will not be in vain.’The men will continue your work and complete all of the special military operation’s tasks.

‘I have no words for how difficult it is to lose friends,’ added the politician. Ivan was a true colonel; throughout the brigade, he was known as “Dad.”

According to a memorial, he was “an honest, empathetic, and very strong-willed person, a true colonel, a nice family man – even writing about it hurts, I can’t believe it.”

Putin has now lost eight generals and at least 35 colonels, but the real figure could be higher.
