Top Russia Navy commander killed in region bordering Ukraine
A top Russian Navy commander was killed "during combat operations" in a region bordering Ukraine, Russia's military announced Thursday. Major Gen. Mikhail Gudkov, the deputy commander of Russia's Navy, had just been appointed to his position by Russian President Vladimir Putin in March, according to the state-run TASS news agency. "On July 2, during combat operations in one of the border areas of the Kursk region, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy for coastal and ground forces, Hero of Russia, Major General Mikhail Evgenievich Gudkov, died," it quoted Russia's military as saying. It's unclear how Gudkov was killed. Unofficial Russian and Ukrainian military Telegram channels said he was hit by a Ukrainian missile attack, Reuters reported. The 42-year-old Gudkov was previously the head of the Russian Pacific Fleet's 155th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade, according to The Moscow Times. He has participated in military operations in Russia's North Caucasus and Syria, TASS also reported. In his current role, Gudkov oversaw the Russian navy's coastal and land forces – including marine units – and is one of the most senior military officials to have died during the war against Ukraine, according to Reuters. Gudkov was previously accused by Ukrainian officials of committing war crimes, including executing and beheading prisoners of war, Politico reported. There was no immediate comment Thursday from Ukraine about the fate of Gudkov. News of Gudkov's death comes as the U.S. has paused some weapons shipments to Ukraine. Fox News confirmed Wednesday that the U.S. has stopped sending weapons such as Patriot missile interceptors and 155 mm artillery shells. The halt was driven by Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby after a review of U.S. munitions stockpiles that showed dangerously low reserves, Politico first reported.

Ukraine kills one of the highest-ranking Russian officers of the conflict
The deputy chief of the Russian Navy has been killed by Ukraine in Russia's Kursk region, Oleg Kozhemyako, the governor of the Primorsky region in Russia's far east, said Thursday. Guards Maj. Gen. Mikhail Gudkov, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy who also led a brigade that fought in Ukraine, was killed in the Russian border region that saw a successful Ukrainian incursion last year. He is one of Russia's highest-ranking officers to have been killed since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago. Kozhemyako previously handed Gudkov awards for bravery and said the two had spoken a lot over the years in a statement announcing the death. He described Gudkov as a 'strong-willed warrior' who had 'died while performing his duty as an officer together with his fellow soldiers.' Kozhemyako did not provide any further details on the circumstances of Gudkov's death. Russia's Ministry of Defense confirmed Gudkov's death on Thursday, saying he was killed in combat in the Kursk region. There has been no immediate comment from Ukraine. Gudkov was appointed as the deputy chief of the Russian Navy for coastal and ground forces by President Vladimir Putin in March. Putin said at the time: 'Since the minister and the Chief of the General Staff believe that your experience needs to be replicated in other units, I have decided to transfer you to a position - to increase your level of responsibility.' The Ukrainian military had previously accused Gudkov and other members of his former 155th brigade of committing war crimes in Ukraine, including the killing of civilians in the towns of Bucha, Irpin and Gostomel in the early months of Russia's war. Separately, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine has said the 155th brigade was involved in executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war. Russia has consistently denied committing war crimes in Ukraine, despite evidence gathered by the Ukrainians and international investigators.
