The latest embarrassing blow to Vladimir Putin came when Ukrainian forces kidnapped a prominent Russian general who was bloodied and battered.
Dramatic video purports to show Colonel General Andrei Sychevoi bound and prone next to numerous worn-out Russian soldiers.
Time will tell if its Gen. Andrei Sychevoi (Андрей Сычевой) that appears in the video. What i find intriguing is that 6 Ukrainian soldiers surround him & look at him as if he is the big fish, & they way he looks away from the camera (he surrendered after all)#lviv #kherson pic.twitter.com/1XoBrKkRry

During a counteroffensive operation in the Kharkiv region, Ukrainian fighters are said to have captured the stony-faced military commander.
At gunpoint, the captured soldiers slumped on the side of the road, defeated, while the man who looks to be Sychevoi had a bleeding nose.
When people noticed the similarities between the captured colonel and Putin, rumours started to spread that he was one of Putin’s top officials.
The two stars on the soldier’s clothing, astute observers noted, are generally worn by Russian lieutenant generals.
