Ukrainian officials said Oleg Tsokov, deputy commander of the Southern Military District, was among the Russians killed in a Ukrainian missile strike early Tuesday morning. The target of the attack was the Russian headquarters in the occupied city of Berdyansk, Ukrainian officials said.
Host Olga Skabeyeva said on Wednesday’s program: “It has been clarified for our television viewers, although there has been no official information from the Ministry of Defense, all the press have already reported on it,” adding that the deputy commander has been killed.
Her guest Andrei Gurulev, himself a former deputy commander of the Southern Military District, now a member of the Russian parliament, said Tsokov was “a man who has experienced troubles that few can even dream of.”
“Last year he was seriously injured and barely pulled out,” the guest said, adding that Tsokov chose to return to the fight even after his injury.
