Russian Major General Sergey Goryachev has been killed in a Ukrainian attack. Available information from British intelligence confirms reports in Russian media. A heavy blow to the invaders, because according to the Ministry of Defense in London, Goryachev was probably the acting commander of the Russian army.
Goryachev, 52, died on June 12 in a rocket attack on a Russian command post in Zaporizhia oblast in southern Ukraine. He was Chief of Staff of the 35th Army.
Since their designated commander, Lieutenant General Alexandr Sanchik, fills a vacancy at headquarters, it is likely that Goryachev was the acting army commander at the time of his death.
2023 killed the Russian general for the first time
He is the first Russian general to die this year in the war in Ukraine. The 35th Army’s troubled wartime record continues, according to the British Ministry of Defence’s assessment: parts of this force were involved in last year’s massacre in the Kiev suburb of Bucha and by June 2022, its troops were largely wiped out near Izyum in eastern Ukraine .
Since the start of the Russian offensive war against Ukraine in February last year, the Ministry of Defense in London has been publishing information on the course of the war on a daily basis, based on information from intelligence services. Moscow accuses London of a disinformation campaign.
