In a perplexing turn of events, Russian Admiral Viktor Sokolov, who was declared dead last Friday, has appeared in a video released by the Russian Ministry of Defense today.
The video, published by Russian media outlet Tass, shows Sokolov participating in a video conference along with Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu and other high-ranking officials in the Russian army.
Ukraine had declared him dead
Ukraine had recently announced that Viktor Sokolov was among those killed in a major missile attack last Friday.
Anton Gerashchenko, an advisor in Ukraine's Ministry of Internal Affairs, made the announcement on behalf of Ukrainian special forces on social media platform X.
The reappearance of Admiral Sokolov raises questions about the credibility of Ukraine's earlier claims and adds to the ongoing tensions between the two nations.
