俄军传统,指挥官都冲第一线。隶属俄国中央军区第 41 集团军副指挥官、空降兵近卫第7师前师长安德烈•苏霍维斯基少将,2日在乌克兰军队对俄军突袭行动的反击战中被狙击手击毙。
俄罗斯伞兵协会与发言人已发文悼念苏霍维斯基。《自由欧洲电台》记者Mark Krutov透过管道向俄军求证消息是否属实,得到苏霍维斯基死亡的消息。 荷兰事实核查网站《Bellingcat》执行董事格罗泽夫(Christo Grozev)也在推特发布苏霍维斯基死亡消息,并补充说:“如果得到证实,这将给俄罗斯军队的士气带来重大消极影响。”苏霍维斯基是特种部队专长出身,2019年至2021年担任俄军第七空降师指挥官,去年10月升官担任中央军区第41军团副指挥官。

乌克兰驻联合国大使基斯利茨亚今天公布一张手机讯息截图,内容是一名年轻的俄国士兵在临死前与母亲对话,描述入侵乌国的军队是如何“向所有人发动攻击,就连平民也不放过”。
俄罗斯入侵乌克兰引发全球关注,基斯利茨亚(Sergiy Kyslytsya)今天在联合国大会紧急特别会议上,大声朗读这段讯息对话。
他说:“我想从一张手机萤幕截图上,念一段俄罗斯士兵临死前与母亲最后的讯息对话。”
乌克兰安全局(Security Service of Ukraine)稍早透过通讯软体Telegram释出这张萤幕截图,乌克兰国家通讯社(Ukrinform)刊出相关报导,但未透露这名士兵死亡的情况,仅说是在战斗中殒命。基斯利茨亚说,“他在临死前几分钟”发送了这些讯息。
在仅经过乌克兰消息来源证实的讯息中,这名士兵用俄语告诉妈妈,他已经不在克里米亚(Crimea)演训。当他的母亲询问能否寄个包裹给他时,他说,“我现在唯一想做的就是吊死自己”。他接着告诉妈妈他在乌克兰,当地发生“真正的战争”。
这名士兵写着:“我好害怕,我们正在攻击所有人,甚至是平民百姓。我们被告知这里的人会欢迎我们,但他们没有,反而以肉身阻挡战车、痛骂我们是法西斯分子。妈妈,这很难受。”
基斯利茨亚朗读完这段讯息后说:“如果你想正视这场悲剧的严重程度,必须想像在你身边、在参与本届大会的每个国家的名牌旁边,已经站了30多名俄军的亡魂。”
他说,除了阵亡的俄国士兵,还有数以百计乌克兰人丢掉性命,好几十名儿童遇害。这类情节正持续不断地上演。
与此同时,乌克兰和盟国齐声呼吁联合国,调查俄罗斯入侵乌克兰期间可能犯下的战争罪行。

NEW: Russia did not tell some troops sent into Ukraine that they would be going into combat, per senior U.S. defense official.

Some of the troops are conscripts, the official said, and the U.S. has seen large Russian surrenders in certain instances.

One woman, who grew up in Russia but now lives in Kyiv with a Ukrainian husband, said her cousin didn't believe her when she called to say Ukraine was being invaded. Russia was only conducting an operation against Nazis there, she said her cousin told her. *****X8dDDxE6qA pic.twitter.com/D5o22YjOCj
