Russia lost its eighth general since the invasion of Ukraine in the latest blow to Vladimir Putin's botched war.
Major General Vladimir Frolov, deputy commander of the 8th Guards Combined Arms unit, was given a military funeral in St Petersburg earlier today.
It's not known how or where he died, but the timing of his funeral suggests Frolov was killed in the past few days.
His 8th Combined Arms Army was fighting in Kherson, near Crimea last month when commander Andrei Mordvichev was killed.
Frolov 'sacrificed his life so that children, women and the elderly in Donbas would not hear bombs exploding again', the St Petersburg governor said as his friend was laid to rest.
The general was from a military family and 'died the death of the brave in battle against Ukrainian nationalists', Alexander Beglov added. --->READ MORE HERE
