Ritter said Zaluzhny was alive, “but seriously injured after a missile attack on a command post in the vicinity of Kherson.” He also added that the Russian Aerospace Forces were able to eliminate many Ukrainian intelligence officers who worked closely with specialists from the United States and Britain.
In late May, RIA Novosti, citing an anonymous source, reported that Zaluzhny had suffered a head injury and multiple shrapnel wounds during a missile attack on Kherson in early May. He underwent a craniotomy and, as a result of his injuries, he will be unable to do his job.
Kiev denied reports of Zaluzhny’s injury, while allegedly recent videos and photos with the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces systematically appeared on the Web, which turned out to be false or old.
