    Is Sokolov alive?

    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.

            Here's a shot of the other participants in that call. They also have a white-backed chair. But, they don't look as "poofy" as Sokolov's.

                    Yes, saw this covered on i24 news. Interesting channel, I think it's from Israel. I've tuned to it once, actually right now. The anchor lady never smiles. That's important.

                            Russia Withdraws Black Sea Fleet Vessels From Crimea Base

                            Russia has withdrawn the bulk of its Black Sea Fleet from its main base in occupied Crimea, a potent acknowledgment of how Ukrainian missile and drone strikes are challenging Moscow’s hold on the peninsula.

                            Russia has moved powerful vessels including three attack submarines and two frigates from Sevastopol to other ports in Russia and Crimea that offer better protection, according to Western officials and satellite images verified by naval experts. The Russian Defense Ministry didn’t respond to a request for comment.

                            The move represents a remarkable setback for Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose military seizure of Crimea in 2014 marked the opening shots in his attempt to take control of Ukraine. His full-scale invasion of last year has now boomeranged, forcing the removal of ships from a port that was first claimed by Russia in 1783 under Catherine the Great.

                            The withdrawal from Sevastopol follows a series of strikes by Ukraine in recent weeks that have severely damaged Russian vessels and the fleet’s headquarters.

                            The immediate military effects of the move are limited, as the ships will still be able to fire cruise missiles on civilian infrastructure such as ports and power grids, naval experts said. Ukraine’s strikes had already broken the fleet’s blockade of Ukrainian ports, denying Russian access to parts of the Black Sea and opening a new corridor for Ukraine to dispatch economically vital grain shipments.

                            But the withdrawal is a timely boost for Ukraine as its counteroffensive advances more slowly than planned amid heavy losses and political ructions in the U.S. raise questions about funding for Kyiv’s efforts to expel Russian occupying forces.

                                the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, Crimea

                                Was that here or did I read somewhere else that Russia is taking a lot of their ships from this base because concerns about future and present damage from Ukraine.
