Possible capture in the Ukrainian Kharkiv counteroffensive.

There's been a ton of video and media from OSINT channels about this guy possibly being captured by Ukrainian spearheads in the counteroffensive drive to retake Izyum. No info from legit sources like the Ukrainian or Russian MoD's have yet confirmed it, but the video evidence looks pretty strong.

Nevertheless, an official source should confirm this before we edit the page with info about his capture. Brett6781 (talk) 00:27, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Brett6781: So far just speculation because a POW looks like him in a photo. But the probability that it really is him is probably very small. That is why the unconfirmed information does not appear in the Wikipedia article. KurtR (talk) 03:16, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's official. Curious what made the "probability very small" when dozens of Russia's top Orc leaders have been captured or killed? https://www.the-sun.com/news/6184835/russian-general-captured-bloody-bruised-ukrainian-forces/ Clarissacolgate (talk) 05:26, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Clarissacolgate: Sun is not a confirmation, The Sun is Tabloid journalism, not a reliable source. If the capture really would be Andrei Sychevoi, then the Ukraine Official will this declare it. But so far there is not.

"dozens" of Russian leaders captured or killed?": Show me a neutral source for that. Ukraine sources are not neutral. KurtR (talk) 20:55, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If he’s confirmed with reasonable certainty by Ukrainians to be captured, we’d see something about it on Kyiv Post or somesuch - no way the Ukrainians wouldn’t boast about it. So far, all I can see are from UK/US tabloids with a history of outright lying, so probably just some random soldier who look like him. Juxlos (talk) 02:43, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
