Russian General Tied to Kostiantynivka Campaign Dies

Russian Major General Anton Grunis, who oversaw the capture of Kostiantynivka and was awarded the Hero of Russia, has died. Apti Alaudinov posted that Grunis “passed on to another world,” while Ukraine’s Robert Brovdi claimed Grunis was eliminated in a nighttime raid in Donetsk—claims not independently verified. Grunis led the 4th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade and briefed Putin on the operation; the status of Kostiantynivka remains contested, with ISW noting parts of the city under Russian control and Ukrainian forces continuing counteroffensives.
