"Among the wounded is a group commander, Colonel General (Aleksandr) Romanchuk, in very serious condition. Chief of Staff Lieutenant General (Oleg) Tsekov is unconscious.
The number of injured ordinary servicemen who are not employees of the headquarters is still being established. These are military, serving, guarding, and so on - they are not included in the list that I voiced to you," said General Budanov.
According to the publication, Aleksandr Romanchuk, commander of the group of russian forces in the Zaporizhzhia direction, received the rank of Colonel General in 2023.
