The 20 stone General Pavel, 67, has been summoned from his comfortable retirement in the Moscow suburbs and told to don his army fatigues and go to the front lines of eastern Ukraine.
We did not provide Ukraine with specific targeting information for the Moskva, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday in response to media reports.
The US officials said that of the approximately 12 Russian generals killed by Ukrainian forces, many had been targeted with the help of US intelligence, reports the New York Times.
