Viktor Sokolov has been dismissed and succeeded by an unnamed chief of staff, according to reports
The commander of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet has been sacked after Ukrainian forces claimed to have sunk a Russian landing ship off the coast of occupied Crimea, according to local media reports.
Ukraine’s main directorate of intelligence (GUR) published a video on Wednesday of what it said was the Russian Black Sea fleet’s Caesar Kunikov burning and sinking a few miles off Alupka on the southern tip of Crimea.
Is that the guy who hasn’t been seen since the black sea fleet headquarters was blown up six months ago but Russia said was totally definitely still alive? I guess they must have finally decided to fire him after he failed to rise from the grave and attend work for 6 whole months
Maybe we should ask Gerasimov if he’s seen him.
Oh wait.
They’re all hanging out with Yevgeny
