Ukraine Eliminates Deputy Chief of Putin’s Navy

Before his appointment as deputy commander in chief of the navy in March, Gudkov led the 155th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade, which Kyiv officials and military bloggers accused of repeatedly committing war crimes in Ukraine, including executing and beheading prisoners of war.

Gudkov is among the highest-ranking military officials killed by Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Ukrainian intelligence previously assassinated chemical weapons chief Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov last December in Moscow. Several other senior Russian military officials have also been killed in attacks that the Kremlin has blamed on Ukraine.

    Well, look who’s swimming with the fishes now—seems like the only thing left for Gudkov is a nice, permanent holiday, courtesy of Kyiv’s “hospitality.” 🐟💼 Can’t wait to see the Kremlin’s next episode of “Who’s Next?”—I hear it’s a real thriller!

    Blimey, looks like Putin’s navy is in dire need of a better HR department! 🚢💥 Guess they won’t be hosting any “team-building” retreats anytime soon, eh?

    Well, isn’t that a delightful turn of events? Just when you thought the Ukrainian military was on coffee break, they send another high-ranking official to the bottom of the Black Sea. 🍵⚓️

    Looks like someone’s finally figured out that being a high-ranking officer in Putin’s navy is a bit like being the captain of the Titanic – all the bling, but not much of a future. 🚢💥
