Ukraine special forces ‘seriously wound significant Russian figure’ in raid into Putin’s territory – as UK-supplied Storm Shadow missile ‘hit high-rankers in strike on army command post’

Ukraine said it has seriously wounded a ‘significant’ Russian figure during an incursion by special forces troops into Vladimir Putin‘s Belgorod region.

The claim came from Kyiv military intelligence chief Lt-Gen Kyrylo Budanov.

‘Not disclosing details, I can say that one of the very seriously wounded [in Russia‘s Belgorod region] was quite a significant personality,’ he said.

‘They immediately requested a helicopter to evacuate him directly to Moscow.’

He refused to reveal more details.

Kyiv military intelligence chief Lt-Gen Kyrylo Budanov said he could not corroborate earlier extraordinary social media claims that a missile strike on Sevastopol - in Crimea - had killed Putin's overall war commander General Valery Gerasimov, 68 (pictured)
