THE UKRAINIANS KEEP BLOWING UP RUSSIAN COMMAND POSTS AND KILLING GENERALS
Eight years ago, a trio of Ukrainian army brigades fighting Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region made a fatal mistake. They idled their tanks and trucks around a static command post.

Russian drones and eavesdroppers pinpointed the command post and blasted it with artillery.
Today it’s the Russians who are making that same mistake—and the Ukrainians who are exploiting the error. In the two months since Russia widened its war on Ukraine, Kyiv’s forces have located and destroyed no fewer than 31 Russian command and communications posts.
As many as 10 Russian generals have died in combat since Russia attacked on Feb. 23, many of them in the Ukrainians’ “decapitation” strikes.
