A new video was released Tuesday showing the commander of the country’s Black Sea Fleet attending a video conference — a day after Ukrainian special forces claimed it had killed him in a missile strike.
In video and photographs quietly put out by the Russian Ministry of Defense, Admiral Viktor Sokolov appears to be remotely taking part in a meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and other top military brass.
The video was shown on Russian state television and reported on by the state-controlled news agencies TASS and Interfax, neither of which provided any information on when or where the footage depicting Sokolov was taken.
In response to the defense ministry’s purported “proof of life” video depicting Sokolov, Ukraine’s special forces said in a social media post Tuesday that it was clarifying information “regarding the destruction of the commander.”

Reminds me of the story of "El cid" supposedly even if the guy was dead , he was mounted on his horse and placed in the front of his army..to terrify the ennemies)))
But there have been plenty of real cases as well, during antiquity & medieval as well as modern history when dead soldiers were leaned against the walls / parapets with weapons still in hand, to give the ennemy the illusion that they're alive..
ukraine and usa 🤡
27 сентября. /ТАСС/. Черноморский флот уверенно и успешно выполняет задачи, поставленные перед ним командованием. Об этом заявил командующий Черноморским флотом Виктор Соколов в эфире телеканала "Звезда".
"Черноморский флот выполняет задачи, которые поставлены перед ним командованием, уверенно, успешно. И надводные силы, и подводные силы, и морская авиация, и передовые войска", – сказал Соколов. 🤣🤣🤣
his chair is different from every other chair. He doesn't say anything, he doesn't react to anything said in any meaningful way. Might as well be old footage of him stuck onto a recent conference… The question is why though? If he is dead, why cover it up? Russia will have to appoint a new black sea fleet commander at some point, and it will become evident if he is dead or not… It could old harm Russia to lie about him being alive.
Taaaales From the Crypt 🧟♂
😂😂😂😂😂 Нацисты обгадились
Its almost like this war is fake and a big show to launder Americans money for greedy politicians.
The Russian MOD just released another video of Sokolov wearing what looks like summer blend sand coloured (often worn in SAR – Syrian Arab Republic) fatigues. Nobody, including himself mentions the HQ fiasco at all or comments on casualties. Odd.
He wasn't moving or even blinking his eyes. Looks like a great embalming job to me.
lol Shoigu is wearing glasses and then he suddenly doesn't when the dead guy shows up. Weekend at Sokolov's.
Россияне народ избранный богом а Соколова воскресили как Лазара из Вифании.
He's not very much interactive, is he?😅 And that pillow behind him? Taking a nap during this meeting? Tsc tsc…😅
bravo Russia!!
When you just loop a video at a Zoom meeting.
Man now Russians invented how to clone people.
Way too many Russian prats and bots posting here. Obviously a channel to avoid like the proverbial plague.
RIP he dead as 2Pac
Very strange behavior it looks like Week end at Bernie's
Same probabilities that NATO (and "Ukraine") are telling the truth on this war, and Donald Duck exists
I will take the word of the Ukrainian people over any russian anytime…they are born liars, manipulation is their skill set.
Its like a Russian version of the monty python dead parrot sketch this parrot is dead its a deceased parrot its pushing up daisies oh no its not its just resting its the moscow blue lovely plumage
Shoigu is wearing glasses whie he's reading but in the same time on the screen he's not wearing glasses. Lol 😂😅😂😅 the screen shows a pre-recorded video!
Thank the US Naval Intelligence.
Fake video is so easy to do you can make a man breakdance if you need to. Video is no longer a single source of truth. IT provides a piece of data that can be verified or not.
The other general is moving but thats is not maybe thats old clip video.
Weekend at Sokolov's
Ukraine 😂😂
Zombie Sokolov
Видно! що адмірал Соколов не вкріслі білому, а на постільній білизні, можливо, подушка. Також є сумніви що він сидить вертикально. Заточений погляд може також означати, що зйомки відео з одного кадру та непомітний монтаж
He doesn't move, he doesn't breath, his eyes doesn't blink…
He's clearly dead.
Weekend at Bernie's , is what that guy looks like..He's dead
Weekend at Viktors?
When you rather trust Russian news agencies…
Sokolov wife is waiting for FUNERAL nato UPCOMERS ..
The admiral is a Jedi. His force ghost is still here.
I know for a fact that if you give an expert in video editing enough of a budget to create what I saw in that suppose meeting, he could’ve done a better job than the Russians did.
So basically USA finances Ukraine to no end to fight their war while they hide in the shadows, Putin cant really retaliate to the full extent because people will frame him as an "evil dictator" so USA/Ukraine can keep doing damage to Russia without them having the liberty to fully respond. Keep pushing Russia this wont end well for anybody.
