Kyiv: War between Russia and Ukraine has reached 34 days on Tuesday, with several casualties on both sides, but the death of seven Russian generals has exposed Russia's ill-equipped war strategies and its logistical problems.

Kyiv has stated that total of 7 Russian generals have been killed since the invasion was launched against Ukraine on February 24.

According to the Ukraine defence ministry on Friday, the seventh Russian general to lose his life was Lieutenant General Yakov Rezantsev who was killed in fighting in Chornobaivka outside the southern city of Kherson.

"But whether it's five or 15 generals, the fact that they are losing any generals at all demonstrates that Russian command-and-control is extremely weak and its lines of communication have been severed by Ukrainian military success," he added.

In a post on Telegram, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's adviser Mykhailo Podoliak described an "extraordinary" death rate among Russian generals and senior military figures.

"This is a sign of total unpreparedness of the army," he said. "All this, no doubt, demoralises the Russian army -- they realise that their top leadership is completely incompetent".

The weaknesses shown by the Russian army in Ukraine, in particular in intelligence, logistics and tactical errors, have forced military chiefs to go to the front lines, said a senior French military official, NDTV reported.

"Orders may not have been well understood or received, units could be disobedient or there is a major problem with morale. All this could make the generals go to the front.", he added/

Of the generals, only the death in action on February 28 of Major General Andrei Sukhovetsky, deputy commander of Russia's 41st Combined Arms Army, has been confirmed by official Russian sources.

Andrei Paliy, the Kyiv-born deputy commander of the Black Sea fleet, was killed in fighting around Mariupol, the governor of annexed Crimea, Mikhail Razvozhayev, announced on his Telegram channel.

According to the Ukrainian authorities, major general Magomed Tushaev was killed in fighting outside Kyiv on February 26.

Aged 36, he was a general in the National Guard (Rosgvardia), an internal military force that answers directly to Putin. He is the highest-ranking Chechen said to have been killed.
