The heavy loss of high-ranking Russian military officers has stunned Western security officials, who last confirmed an official tally of seven generals in late March, though Ukraine has since announced more.Īmong the Russian generals confirmed dead are Major General Anton Simonov, 55, who was killed during an attack on a Russian command post near Kharkiv and Lt General Andrey Mordvichev who was killed in Kherson on March 19. 'We do not provide intelligence with the intent to kill Russian generals.' 'The United States provides battlefield intelligence to help the Ukrainians defend their country,' NSC spokesperson Adrienne Watson said. The US National Security Council slammed the assertion that the United States was helping Ukraine kill Russian generals as 'irresponsible.'
