General Valery Gerasimov Not Seen at the Parade [View all]

According to Newsweek:

No Sign of Top Russian General Valery Gerasimov at Victory Day Parade
"There was seemingly a notable absence from Russia's 'Victory Day' parade in Moscow on Monday—Valery Gerasimov, chief of general staff of the Russian military, was nowhere to be seen."

"However, the BBC reported and several military experts on Twitter noted that Gerasimov was not present during the parade in Moscow. In an event like this, a senior military figure Gerasimov would usually be close to Russian President Vladimir Putin."

Heard that he had been injured in Ukraine, but not able to find any updates on his condition.
