1. I’m guessing we didn’t get him although that would be wonderful. Simply because the Ukrainians would likely have known they were targeting him and have an good guess they got him. If this was the case they surely wouldn’t have kept quiet about it I’m sure. It is ofc possible it was a lucky strike where we thought some generals and others important were there but had no idea Gerasimov was hit. Either way fuck Russia. Love to Ukraine!

2. Highly unlikely he was close enough to get hit by a strike.

3. Didn’t they kill him 2 times already?

4. Nah, better be alive…they might replace him with someone competent if he’s dead. Nobody wants that.

5. Waiting for the denials, issued alongside photos of a cardboard cutout.

6. Ah, the ever so joyful general floormat. Another thing you squash beneath your feet are cockroaches. Based on that analogy, I have some doubts about him being dead.

   But if somehow true, I wonder who would be the new person to clean Putin’s shoes.

7. If true this guy is truly unlucky, first time was in 2022(?) when he was hurt. Methinks someone inside the ministry or fsb wants him out.

8. Schrödinger’s General

9. No comment! Holy ish he could be dead.

10. I hope not, they might replace him with someone competent.

11. Maybe he is having a meeting with Sokolov.

12. Big news if true. Unlikely, I think, but it would be nice.

13. What happened with the promised F-16 to Ukraine by the end of 2023 ?

14. Not too sure it’d be a good idea to remove Gerasimov, I think he’s been doing a very good job of eliminating Russian assets and troops with his incompetent employment of troops and recycled tactics.

15. Not to mention tweeter is full of bullshit 90 percent of the time let’s see the proof first

16. Only if it were true…sigh.

17. The fact russia said “no comment” is a dead giveaway he’s dead tbh. If he was alive, they’d claim they shot down everything, or that they’d show off a video of him somewhere using old footage.

18. Generally when Russia issues no comment it means they were not killed to be honest. They often confirm when someone has died.

    You’ll probably just see him in a few weeks randomly sitting in a meeting.

    Russia likes to just let people think generals have been killed.

19. Usually they show video, even old video when they are still alive. No comment may mean he is dead.

20. doubt he’s dead. As prigozhin said, Gerasimov is probably drunk off his ass in a bunker.

21. That would actually be a really bad news, hes been doing a fantastic job for Ukraine

22. Garasimov is/was so inept that this is probably bad for Ukraine

23. Next Up.

24. If true, not good news for Ukraine, because incompetent leader could be replaced by competent one.
