Ukrainian drone commander says his forces killed decorated Russian general
Ukrainian drone forces said Grunis was the seventh Russian commander killed in their operations, and Reuters could not independently verify the claim.
- Ukrainian drone forces killed Russian Major General Anton Grunis on September 12 in occupied Donetsk, according to Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, who stated, "General Grunis was eliminated on September 12."
- Earlier this year, Grunis had reported to President Vladimir Putin that Russian forces captured Kostiantynivka, though Kyiv and independent analysts dispute the claim, stating forces only infiltrated the city.
- In late August, the general received the Gold Star Hero of Russia award at a ceremony where Putin praised him, saying, "Luck comes to those who do the work."
- Russian commander Apti Alaudinov stated on Telegram that Grunis had died, though the Russian Defence Ministry has not officially confirmed the death and Reuters could not independently verify the claim.
- This marks the seventh Russian commander killed by Ukrainian drone units, according to Brovdi, as Russia continues pursuing the Donbas region as a central territorial demand in stalled negotiations with Kyiv.
