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)
