War in Ukraine Russia

EXPLAINED: Is Russia’s Black Sea Fleet Commander Dead or Alive?

After Ukraine struck the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in occupied Sevastopol on Friday, Sept. 22, two very different narratives about the Russian losses have emerged.

Ukraine claims that 34 officers were killed in the attack, including the commander of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet Admiral Viktor Sokolov.

 

Meanwhile, Kremlin has refused to comment on the losses, but released a series of videos supposedly proving, that the commander is alive and well.

Watch the video to find out what is known so far about the admiral’s “status on Earth”.

Sokolov is not his real name. It is Bernie Lomax.

The Black Sea Fleet will not be using Sevastopol for the forceeable future. Ukraine has found the keys to unlock the S400 air defence systems, and thereby is free to attack key ground targets at will.
Sololov dead or alive will not matter much, or change inevitable outcomes.
