There have been 0 updates on Hall for nearly 24 hours now. Very odd. Found a sketchy DailyMail article, but nothing else.

they may have found out something new when they were informed of Zakrzewski's death, but IDK. 

 

there was twitter chatter that there have been 3 international journalists killed already earlier today. 2 we know, and if the twitter chatter was real, Hall may have passed of his injuries - remains to be seen though

I don't know how to embed tweets. Check out this guy. Update on Hall + mentioned the photojournalist from FOX who died, 13 hour before anyone else.

Unnamed Fox New journalist badly injured by shrapnel near Kyiv

 

EDIT:

 

Twitter chatter IDs him as Benjamin Hall, likely this guy:

He was tweeting from on the ground Ukraine as of yesterday. Injuries reported to be serious

 

another Fox News journalist killed in the same attack that injured Hall

Third confirmed to be Ukrainian journalist Alexandra Kurshyniva, likely the Fox News "fixer" (translator, introducing the foreign team to on the ground contacts, etc.) in Kyiv

Another Russian Major General:

Oleg Mityaev, 46 or 47, commander of the 150th motorized rifle division. Either the fourth or the fifth Russian Major General to die.

Benjamin Hall update: stable, out of Ukraine, rumors are had at least one leg amputated due to injuries

Aye, well, that'll cheer up the befuddled conscripts, someone going round and saying "we have management vacancies, anyone want a pay rise?"

I'm noticing a theme here. Most "famous" casualties of this war didn't have a wikipedia article until after they died.

Artem Datsyshyn, a ballet dancer with the National Opera of Ukraine, died February 26th as a result of being fired upon by the Russian military. The story is being reported today (March 17th).

she has a Ukr wiki, not an English one, and seemed to be pretty popular in the country - several awards at the very least

It goes without saying that most 'notable' people in Ukraine would not be household names in the West, nor have an English Wikipedia. How many could have named the President of Ukraine till recently...

That's the thing though. She didn't even have a Ukrainian wiki until after her death. Check edit history https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Швець_Оксана_Олександрівна

Colonel Sergei Sukharev, major asshole and one of Russia's elite paratrooper commanders who took part in multiple "peacekeeping operations" (including the one in Kazakhstan a few months ago) killed along with his deputy:

So, these high profile Russian casualties are down to their military operation being stalled and in situ just begging hit and run attacks, then

 

In the unlikely event they take areas and have to try and enforce the peace the insurgencies will likely keep body bag makers in work for as long as Russia decides to stay and they'll make the US/UK numbers in Afghanistan and Iraq look tame

I mean, this has already happened. 

 

Per Wiki, US numbers in Iraq - 4.5k and in Afghanistan, 2.4k. UK lost ~600-700 troops in both combined, putting you at about 7.5k deaths for both countries across both wars. 

 

Russian death numbers in Ukraine range from 7-8k (per the US and Europe) to 14k+ (per Ukraine). I'm more inclined to believe the latter myself, but even going by US numbers, Russia's already either nearly lost as many people as the US+UK in Iraq+Afghanistan, or slightly more than that. And that's without going into equipment losses, or number of generals lost. 

 

On that last part, btw.

 

Per all sources, Ukraine has killed 4 Russian Major Generals that we know of so far. Major General is basically a 1 star General in the Russian armed forces. A couple of hours ago, this was reported:

 

 

It's still unconfirmed by Russia, and based on Gerasimov's death, will likely take a couple of weeks until the family gets the body before it's officially confirmed. However, if it is accurate, this is the first Lt. General killed by Ukraine - Lt. General being the equivalent of a 2 star general. 

 

The officers are falling like flies tbh. 

[CastAway 475]

honestly if at this point you know the names of high enough Russian officers in Ukraine, add them to your upcoming deadpools. they're very likely to die, and given the interest in the war, will probably get some sort of relevant newspaper obit. 

 

also update re: the generals kill list mentioned above. 4 major generals + 1 lt. general killed - 5 down. Russia was estimated to have sent 20 generals to Ukraine, so in just over 3 weeks, their death rate is a respectable 25%. based on the last few killed, 1 general is being killed every 3 or so days, so we'll probably get a new one soonish. there's enough dead that there's a new Wiki page dedicated to killed Russian generals in Ukraine:

Major General Denis Sinekov, commander of the Donetsk People's Militia is one I don't think will last long. Putin's reportedly forcing untrained civilians from Luhansk and Donetsk to get on the frontline and there was already an assasination attempt on Sinekov last month before the start of the war. If Ukraine doesn't get him, someone else will sooner or later.

There's a list of some of the commanders here.

[CastAway 475]

from UKR's side, expect Azov Battalion leader Denys Prokopenko to be a casualty as well. Azov's fighting in Mariupol rn, and unless somehow UKR can get reinforcements there (at the moment they're saying it's impossible), Azov's going to be decimated no matter how hard they fight. at some point they'll run out of weapons, and they'll be the perfect "denazification" examples for Russia. 

 

ofc, things can change and if reinforcements can get there, that's a different matter. but so far, that's another possibility. 

[MortalCaso 1,426]

There is also a Wikipedia page, which basically does what this thread is doing. I'm not sure if it reports as many minor deaths as this thread does though.

 

It is interesting to see what Wikipedia will classify as notable in this case. Apologies if this was already shared.

Rumours floating around if the Sniper from Canada was killed in combat since he hasn't been heard in days, 

Be nice if the media wouldn't mention if people would leave their country to go to Ukraine to fight because Russia will find out and try to kill them, 
Dumbasses.

i'd be very hesitant to believe that, because Russia's been saying they killed him once every couple of days. If the Ukrainians come out and confirm or his family does, sure. but as it stands this is just rinse and repeat Russian tactics.

The Invictus Games are mourning the loss of one of their own.

The international sporting event announced in a statement on Wednesday that Serhii Karaivan, a member of the Ukrainian Invictus Games community, died on March 13 while fighting against the Russian invasion of his country.

I'm not in the thread Gestapo but I'm surprised (it seems a little indelicate even for us) that Jews who survived the Holocaust should be posted in the thread called 'Nazi of SS'.
