Mikhail Podoliak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, claims that six Russian generals and dozens of other senior officers have been killed since the start of the Russian invasion, the Associated Press reported.

Podoliak wrote on Twitter today that "the high death rate among Russia's top military" reflects a "complete lack of readiness," adding that the Russian military relies on large numbers of troops and cruise missiles.

The high mortality rate among the highest command staff of the Russian Federation is striking.

6 generals were destroyed.

Maj. Gen. Tushaev, Gerasimov, Kolesnikov, Sukhovetsky, Mityaev, Lieutenant General Mordvichev.

Dozens of colonels and other officers.

Total unpreparedness, fighting in numbers and cruise missiles.
