The hits keep coming as Russia loses its 8th colonel fighting in Ukraine

Dead man talking

Kyiv claims it has "eliminated" Colonel Denis Kurilo, commander of the 200th separate motorized rifle brigade in the fighting in Kharkiv. Kurilo is the eighth colonel to be eliminated [aka killed] and it is another devastating blow to Vladimir Putin to both his ego and his id. Russia has lost enough high-ranking officers that their images can be put on playing cards and a game made in their honor. 

Putin's invasion of Ukraine seems faltering and weak and Ukraine's military press office say the brigade in which Kurilo was killed suffered huge losses in the fierce battle in which two battalion groups in the 200th brigade were annihilated and 1,500 Russian invaders were killed.

Col. Kurilo is just one of the many slain Russian military leaders who have participated in proving the Kremlin is as effective militarily as PINO Biden is verbally.

Up to this point, seven colonels and seven generals have been killed by Ukrainian forces since the invasion began on February 24th. On one hand, this demonstrates the clusterfrack that is the Russian military strategists, but on the other hand, Putin's next step might be the use of strategic combat nuclear weapons and/or chemical warfare. 

Things have allegedly gotten so bad that one Russian military leader was intentionally killed by his own troops--he was run over by a tank due to low morale and even lower morals.

The list of dead Russian leaders and their military rank are:

Colonel Nikolay Ovcharenko, chief of the Western Military District engineer troops
Colonel Alexei Sharov, commander of the 810th Guards Separate Order of Zhukov Brigade in the Russian Marines
Colonel Sergei Sukharev, of the 331st Guards Parachute Assault Regiment from Kostroma
Major Sergei Krylov, Sukharev's deputy Major
Colonel Andrei Zakharov
Colonel Konstantin Zizevsky
Russian brigade commander Colonel Yuri Medvedev
Colonel Sergei Porokhyna

But the hits keep coming and even generals have lost their lives in the invasion, more than even the ten-year fighting in Afghanistan:

Lieutenant General Yakov Rezanstev, was a commander of Russia's 49th Combined Arms Army. He bragged on the fourth day of the war that it would be over in a matter of hours. He was wrong.
General Magomed Tushaev, of the Chechen Special Forces
Major-General Oleg Mityaev, commander of the army's 150th motorized rifle division
Major-General Andrey Kolesnikov, Commander of the Guards Tank Kantemirovskaya Division
Major-General Andrei Sukhovetsky was taken out by a sniper
Major General Vitaly Gerasimov: First deputy commander of Russia's 41st army

This is just the short list of KIAs but there are others not mentioned, and moreover, this will not be a final list because the war isn't over yet.
