officially resigned for failings re: Russia/Ukraine conflict predictions
unofficially he screwed up & got a bunch of subordinates killed/captured
some background:
a further 5 helis were reportedly shot down on similar Mariupol suicide missions this past week, taking the unofficial total to 8
only the first one was shot on approach, the other 7 were allowed to collect their cargo (likely VIPs & sensitive evidence)
2 French intel officers survived a failed heli evac operation & have been captured
the situation now in Mariupol is dire for the NATO nub. They're underneath a steel plant in some bunker network that was setup by the Soviets. There's all kinds of rumours about what's down there.
