    This tempest in a teapot is not going to accomplish anything good for either party. I hope it gets sorted out as quickly as possible. In the meantime I am certain the Kremlin is rubbing its bloody hands in anticipatory glee.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I have to wonder how much intelligence is coming from Russian sources.

          Good question.

              It’s possible. Senior staff officers on duty and a daytime strike happens. Perfect military target.

                  The Admiral and at least some his staff just may have been taken out in the strike. Also sounds that the local partisans were involved. Kyiv would ateady have the coordinates of the HQ building, all they needed to know was when the bosses would be all there. Just a matter of a green light from the ground. The missiles were already locked and loaded.

                          Time will tell. The Kremlin is being particularly coy about that attack last week.

                              @George-K Wasn't there some movie where they propped up some commander (who was dead) with a current newspaper to "prove" that he was alive?

                              Anyway, with digital "manipulation", I am sure that Russians are working on something like that right now.

                                In the 2nd video, he "appears." However, he is not shown to speak.

                                Any legitimate "proof of life" evidence would include a reference to recent events, or a photo of a recent newspaper, etc.
