Two more Russian colonels have been killed in Russia’s war in Ukraine - including the country’s 'best paratroop commander'.
Lieutenant colonel Alexander Dosyagayev, 34, was a commander of an airborne assault battalion of the 104th paratrooper regiment.
Troops from his 104th air assault regiment were reportedly in Bucha, the scene of alleged rape and torture atrocities committed by Vladimir Putin’s forces earlier in the war.
His battalion based in Pskov had been recognised as the best in Russia in its extensive combat training and military discipline.
At the military festival ‘Army of Russia-2021’, he was judged the winner of the Winged Infantry category.
'I was filled with pride that my soldiers and officers showed the result they were striving for,' he said.
