        Same level and controllers, but it’s Radio Free Asia, particularly they spread the news about people being executed in DPRK and those people routinely appear later quite alive and well.

      Yes.

      I’m not sure it really proves he’s alive - it’s a short clip and he remains completely static, no movement at all. If Russia is eager to show he’s alive and Ukraine got it wrong they can get him to make a video making it clear that he’s alive and well.

      It’s entirely possible that Ukraine got it wrong, either they’ve mis-identified someone or it’s propaganda, but this video doesn’t really prove anything.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    MOSCOW, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Viktor Sokolov, the commander of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet and one of Russia’s most senior navy officers, was shown on Tuesday attending a video conference, a day after Ukrainian special forces said they had killed him.

    In video and photographs released by the Russian defence ministry, Sokolov was shown apparently taking part in a video conference with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and other top admirals and army chiefs.

    Ukraine’s special forces said on Monday they had killed Sokolov, Moscow’s top admiral in Crimea, along with 33 other officers in a missile attack last week on the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in the port of Sevastopol.

    Earlier on Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had declined to comment on the Ukrainian claim, referring reporters to the defence ministry.

    In the video released by the ministry, Shoigu said that more than 17,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed in September and that more than 2,700 weapons, including seven American Bradley fighting vehicles, had been destroyed.

    According to a Sept. 19 scorecard by the Belfer Center at Harvard’s Kennedy School, Russia has gained 35 square miles of territory from Ukraine in the past month while Ukrainian forces have taken 16 square miles from Russian forces.
