Ukrainian drone forces killed Major General Anton Grunis on September 12, just weeks after he received Russia’s highest military honor for claiming the capture of Kostiantynivka, a city Ukraine and Western analysts say remains contested. The death highlights the gap between Russian propaganda and battlefield reality, as Grunis had personally briefed Vladimir Putin on the supposed victory. Meanwhile, Russian strikes killed five in a bus attack and injured others across Ukraine, while a Russian drone recovered in the Baltic Sea near Poland has sparked a legal investigation. Britain also named a 40-year-old intelligence officer, Maj Paul Wilks, who died in a road crash in Ukraine.
