mirhond---question for you---just why did a Russian Lt. General of Ground forces try to get a "ceasefire" at the Donetsk airport on 1 December:

ANSWER BELOW:--maybe you would care to comment or again maybe not

BY the way 27 Russian SF troops were killed in the failed assault on 30Nov/1Dec.

On Dec 1 #DonetskAirport assault participated a regional "B" #FSB #SOF unit. It was very fine & highest #SOF but definitely not ОМОН.

#Tymchuk: In #Donetsk he headed the field GS of quick response units taking direct part in battle activities. Body was claimed on ceasefire.

#Tymchuk: On Dec 1 #DonetskAiport attack deputy of General Staff of one of #Russian army SOF brigade was killed by shrapnel


4672 Russian troops killed in eastern Ukraine so far since Sept and that is what mirhond a really big "victory" for the Russian Army?
