Russian General Sergei Kuzovlev was personally awarded the title “Hero of Russia” by Vladimir Putin on December 9. He told Putin on Nov. 20 that Kupyansk was taken. That proved to be a fatal blunder, as soon after, President Zelensky went to Kupyansk himself to call out the Russian bullshit, barely a couple of kilometers from the Russian fighting forces, and the Russian General’s time on Earth became limited.

Russian General Sergei Kuzovlev was awarded the title “Hero of Russia” after reporting to Putin that he had supposedly gained complete control of Kupyansk. Ukrainian troops are holding the city firmly.
A video featuring him, reporting to Putin about the “final capture of the city,” was actively distributed by Russian propaganda outlets, Channel 24 reported , citing Russian media.
Colonel General Kuzovlev received the award on December 9, likely for his report on the supposedly completed capture of Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region. However, Russia has no real control over the city. Ukrainian troops have even blocked several hundred Russians in the city.
