During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, a high number of Russian generals have been killed in action. As of 4 May 2022, Ukrainian sources reported that 12 Russian generals had been killed during the invasion.[1] The loss of general officers, even as few as two, is rare. This makes the scale of these losses unprecedented since World War II.[2][3] Senior US officials claimed that the United States has provided military intelligence that has allowed the Ukrainians to target and kill many of the Russian generals who have died in action in the conflict.[1]
