Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.

Gauleiters was the name of civilian rulers of a region appointed by the German Nazis during WWII.
Another swipe at the Nazi insult they so like throwing at the Ukrainians, despite it being equally applicable to both parties in the current era — for white supremacy, anyway, and authoritarianism. Historically the Ukrainians attached to Nazism as a defense against Sovietism, both in my eyes equally vile.
[ColonelCassad] As a result of the secondary information detonation after the missile strike of the Russian Armed Forces on the gathering of the Armed Forces in Sumy on 13.04.2025, the Gauleiter of Sumy Oblast Artyukh was removed from his post.

He once again confirmed that the strike was carried out on a gathering of military personnel, but at the same time denies that he was its organizer. This hints that there is someone else in this story who actually organized this gathering, putting the Gauleiter of Sumy Oblast before the fact. And this someone is clearly higher in rank than the former Sumy Gauleiter, so he does not give his name.

In general, the enemy's attempt to create another "Bucha" failed. And the Sumy Gauleiter also had to be removed.

More from Boris Rozhin:
"It was a mistake"

The US will not sign a statement condemning the Russian strike on the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Sumy.

In addition, Washington informed its G7 partners that it is ready to negotiate with Moscow.

A little earlier, the Trump administration called the incident a "Mistake".

Washington knows very well who was hit, so it sees no reason to make a comedy about "a strike on civilians" now. Under Biden, Washington would certainly join this hysteria.

Of course, the failure of this attempt to create a new "Bucha" only means that the enemy, after the failure of this story, will begin preparing the next one. It will definitely have a large number of killed civilians and this time it will try to make it more plausible.
