List of Russian generals killed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine

A number of Russian general officers^[a] have been killed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As of 28 November 2023, Ukrainian sources claimed that 16 Russian generals and 1 admiral had been killed during the invasion, while Russian sources have confirmed 7 deaths. Although seven of the Ukrainian claims were rebutted, the loss of even two general officers is rare. The scale of these losses is unprecedented since the Second Chechen War, in which Russia lost ten generals.^[1][2][3] This has been attributed to Russian senior commanders going to the field to address "difficulties in command and control" and "faltering Russian performance on the front line",^[4] insecure communication by Russian forces,^[5] and United States military intelligence that allowed the Ukrainians to target Russian officers.^[6]
