Multiple Ukrainian and Russian sources say a top Russian general was killed by a Storm Shadow missile. A Ukrainian member of parliament, Yurii Mysyagin, attributed his death to the Storm Shadow missile, according to CNN. "The British 'Storm Shadow' came to visit accurately," the outlet reported Mysyagin as saying. But the Storm Shadow, also known as a SCALP missile, is fired from an aircraft and has a post-launch range of about 155 miles. An undisclosed quantity of Storm Shadow missiles was sent to Ukraine by the UK earlier this year, with France announcing on Tuesday that it would supply Ukraine with additional missiles.

Russian authorities found out through social media that someone set fire to a military jet. Footage of the burning aircraft emerged on Monday on the Telegram channel for the Freedom of Russia Legion, a Ukrainian organization that consists of military defectors from Russia and Belarus. Local police then discovered the video online, reported the independent Russian media outlet Baza. But it reported that despite the Freedom of Russia Legion's claims that the Su-24 was "completely destroyed," the aircraft was "not particularly damaged." Russian authorities categorized the Freedom of Russia Legion as a terrorist group on March 16.
Yevgeny Prigozhin said the Russian front line will collapse if Wagner Group men don't hold Bakhmut. In a video circulated over the weekend, he called for more support from the regular Russian army. "If Wagner retreats from Bakhmut now, the whole front will collapse," he said, per Reuters' translation of a video that appeared online over the weekend. Prigozhin went on to complain about "shell hunger" and a lack of support from the Russian army. He has stoked a long-running feud with Russia's regular army leaders over support for his fighters and credit for their role in the war.
Russia's threats of a renewed assault on Ukraine are already coming to pass, a military chief said. Multiple reports indicate a flurry of Russian attacks along the front line in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine says Russia hasn't had much success so far but "fighting has intensified," one soldier said. Ukrainian politician Anton Geraschenko tweeted on Wednesday that the Russian offensive is already taking place. Officials and analysts have been predicting for months that a new Russian offensive would begin in the spring, with the country likely to commit hundreds of thousands of additional soldiers to the fight.
