The eighth Russian general became a victim of the war in Ukraine. This is reported by the Russian media, stressing that a highly professional military officer died during combat operations at the front. The information about the death of the general was confirmed by some sources in the army circles of the Russian Federation.
Major General Pavlo Klymenko was attacked by a drone near a checkpoint near Krasnohorivka (that is, not far from the front line), while traveling in a group on motorcycles. He was taken to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with head injuries and a hip fracture. He died 2.5 hours after being wounded.
Klymenko commanded the 5th Donetsk motorized rifle brigade, which was created on the basis of the Oplot battalion in 2014 by the "authorities of the DNR".
