The US donated a long-range rocket system to the Ukrainian government.
The spokesman for the Odesa regional administration said that Maj. Gen. Artem Nasbulin of Russia was killed by HIMARS missiles.
The US said last week that it would send four more. The first person to arrive was the defense secretary of Ukraine.
He didn't say where the attack happened or when. Nasbulin's death has not been confirmed by Russia, as has been the case with other Russian deaths.
Russian and Ukrainian forces are fighting in the south of the country. The city of Kherson was the first to be invaded by Russia.
The city of Nova Kakhovka is in the Kherson region. It's not clear if he was talking about the same thing.
Since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the US, EU, and other countries have sent weapons to the country. More were needed to beat Russia according to the Ukrainians. Those kinds of weapons were sent by the western nations.
The system that Russia has is more accurate than the one that the HIMARS system has.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week that the weapons from Western countries allowed his country to fight against Russia.
Russia has lost a lot of generals in the last few months.
Russia has acknowledged the deaths of a few generals, but it's not clear how many have been killed.
In modern history, there is no situation like the deaths of generals here in Russia.
