    Translated from source:

    Oleg Tsokov, Major General of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, was killed as a result of an APU strike near Berdyansk

    This was told by the adviser to the mayor of Mariupol Petr Andryushchenko. “It is reported that today in the Berdyansk region, the Russian Lieutenant General Oleg Yuryevich Tsokov was liquidated. In September 2022, he was already three hundred, but he survived. Now they say that the grave has been finally completed,” he wrote.

    At the end of September 2022, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that Tsokov was wounded in the Svatovo region of the Lugansk region as a result of a fire attack.

    Oleg Tsokov since August 2022 was the commander of the 144th motorized rifle division of the 20th combined arms army of the Russian Federation. He received the rank of lieutenant general in 2023. In addition to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he took part in two Chechen wars and the war in Syria.
