Maj. Gen. Anton Grunis was decorated after briefing Putin on Russia’s supposed capture of Kostiantynivka—a victory that never happened. Now Russian sources report Grunis has been killed in Ukraine, another senior commander lost in Putin’s war. #Ukraine #Russia www.kyivpost.com/post/84649
Official Russian sources are silent about the probable demise of General Anton Grunis. An elite Ukrainian drone unit claimed the kill, but the video isn’t conclusive.
Grunis had just been awarded his country’s highest medal, Hero of Russia, on national TV for conquering a Donbas fortress city. The problem is the Ukrainian army is still there in strength.

If everyone dealt with Trump the way Rep. Joyce Beatty did, our country would not be in the peril we are currently facing. That we even have to say this is a frightening commentary on the lack of courage we have seen by those charged with oversight and enforcement.
