Four Russian conscripts killed in Ukraine, local media report

Four residents of Russia’s Krasnoyarsk region have been killed in the war in Ukraine, local media Vzglyad Info and Vlast Truda report.

All of them were drafted on 26 September. They were sent to the frontlines within a week, Vzglyad Info notes, adding that the men were killed on 5 and 7 October in the Kherson region. The details of their deaths are not known.

The killed conscripts are: Alexander Pomigalov, 23; Igor Puchkov, 27, father of two; Ivan Pukhov, 40, father of one; and Alexander Parilov, 35, father of two, the media outlets report, citing the conscripts’ relatives.

The media outlets point out that all four of them were residents of Minusinsk, a town in the Krasnoyarsk region, or the surrounding villages.

Earlier today, Kirill Stremousov, deputy chief of the occupation administration of Ukraine’s Kherson region, said that Ukraine had launched an offensive in the Kherson region.

Previously, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that all mobilisation activity in Russia would conclude in two weeks, and no additional draft was envisioned. Out of the planned 300,000 conscripts, 223,000 people have been drafted under the “partial mobilisation”, the president said. He also noted that 33,000 drafted soldiers were already placed in military units, while 16,000 were completing military tasks.
