Mikhail Nagamov, 41, the commander of a sapper regiment, died fighting in Ukraine on April 13, Russian media has reported, without saying where or how exactly he died.
His death is just the latest in a string of high-profile deaths for the Russian military, coming on the heels of seven generals already killed in action since the war began and staggering losses overall.
It appeared that Vladimir Solovyov was articulating the Kremlin leader s own anger when he launched a full-frontal attack on the Navy in a nationwide broadcast. Putin was said to be incensed by the loss.
Family of the crew of the Moskva - Russia s sunken warship - are demanding answers as their relatives remain missing despite Russia claiming almost all crew members on the ship survived.
