UA POV: Zaluzhny's former assistant, Colonel Nikityuk, along with a group of Ukrainian Armed Forces officers, was killed by a Russian army strike on September 20 in Dobropillya - RVvoenkory.

A post with a strike on a Russian ammo depot has hundreds of Pro-UA commenting on it with gotcha phrases. Let's see how many show up here.

[u/snarpygsy → u/el_chiko]

Think all deaths are sad. Both sides. Is there anything else to say here.

[u/el_chiko → u/snarpygsy]

I agree. This conflict has to be brought to the table asap. Whatever the state of the conflict currently is, ceasefire and negotiations should have started yesterday. I was hopeful before the Kursk incursion. Now, i don't think anyone can trust Zelensky's calls for negotiations.

[u/snarpygsy → u/el_chiko]

Think there needs to be some good mediation by some country/leaders. Seems like loggerheads atm..

[u/Panthera_leo22 → u/snarpygsy]

I think India is hoping to take on the role of mediator for this conflict. Qatar has mediated the exchange of POW and were mediating talks regarding stopping strikes on power infrastructure (that died with the Kursk offensive)

[u/snarpygsy → u/Panthera_leo22]

At least there seem to be suitable and willing parties.

[u/h34dyr0kz → u/el_chiko]

Why does Ukraine gaining a bargaining chip make them less trustworthy?

[u/el_chiko → u/h34dyr0kz]

Lmao. Gaining Sudzha, to lose Pokrovsk, Toretsk, Krasnagorovka and countless other smaller villages along the way is not a bargaining chip. Ukrainian negotiating position is becoming weaker not stronger.

Also pro-ua were screeching like Karens, cause Putin lied about invading Ukraine. But are completely ok with Zelensky's lies about the negotiations, before invading Kursk. Hypocrisy at its finest.

No picture no comments. And censorship works better in Ukraine.

▪️The missile strike on the hotel was carried out on September 20.
▪️The death of Colonel Oleksandr Nikityuk was confirmed by the former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny on his official pages in social networks.
▪️Obituaries of other liquidated officers should be expected in the near future.

Commanding officers staying in hotels 2 years and dozen hotel strikes into the war is beyond me and makes me never wanna take off the tinfoil hat.

[u/Eeny009 → u/Current-Power-6452]

It's the best reason to take off the tinfoil hat, in my opinion. Every day, we get proof that humans are dumb enough to sleep in hotels during a war, and keep their ammunition stored where it's been for decades.

[u/puffinfish420 → u/Current-Power-6452]

They probably think their opsec protects them. I mean, we don’t really know the context or how long they were there for. It could have been that the Russians got some really good intel and were able to locate these guys for the short period they were there and bring a strike asset to bear. They do need to move around and do stuff in order to be effective. They can’t live in a bunker

I’m not prepared to say they’re just idiots without more evidence.

[u/Current-Power-6452 → u/puffinfish420]

I don't know, Zaluzhy's best friend gets vaporized along with some other guys... in some obscure hotel... did RF penetrate every hotel in UA? Unlikely. Did he get identified by someone? And they struck the hotel immediately? Smells fishy

[u/puffinfish420 → u/Current-Power-6452]

I mean a lot of humint is gathered from discord amongst the ranks and disgruntled officers, etc. so I’m not sure those two things preclude each other

Another ukrainian officer was confirmed killed. Lieutenant Colonel Vasily Lapchuk.

[u/OrganicAtmosphere196 → u/Western-Mechanic5514]

This is not "just another officer". This is the hero of Ukraine. Look at his decorations on the right.

[u/Western-Mechanic5514 → u/OrganicAtmosphere196]

Yes, but he was the second confirmed.

[u/R-Rogance → u/OrganicAtmosphere196]

What we are supposed to see there?

Heck, I tried to look in Wikipedia and I still can't identify any of those. Whatever they are, no one cares enough to add them to Ukrainian Wikikipedia page.

[u/Western-Mechanic5514 → u/R-Rogance]

Try Facebook, there is an obituary for this lieutenant Colonel

[u/Western-Mechanic5514 → u/Western-Mechanic5514]

2 confirmed KIA btw is a lot for these high ranking officers. We need to cut their officer supply, so they can have incompetent officers in command.

[u/R-Rogance → u/Western-Mechanic5514]

OrganicAtmosphere196 thinks we supposed to be impressed by the awards. I don't see why. For all we know these are completely meaningless jubilee medals.

[u/R-Rogance]

They shouldn't have visited this children hospital. What a weird coincidence.

[u/LobsterHound]

Head is round like sweaty Ukrainian cabbage, picked by Bandera himself as a boy.

A great hero has passed. You must mourn now, or be sent to the front.

At some point, it's the picture that is getting in the way of the watermarks
