A list of liquidated officers of the Special Operations Forces and the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of the Russian Federation, who were part of the Kremlin’s most secretive security agencies, has been published.

Ukrainian defenders continue to destroy Russia’s military elite . During the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, dozens of special forces soldiers from the Senezh and Kubinka units—the most prestigious formations of the Russian Special Operations Forces—have been eliminated.

The “I Want to Live” project has published a list of deceased officers, including representatives not only of Senezh and Kubinka, but also of other units of the Special Operations Forces and the GRU.

A few days ago, a documentary was released about the liquidation of a sabotage and reconnaissance group from the Senezh Special Purpose Center, which operated near Chernigov.

Ukrainian scouts from the 54th separate reconnaissance battalion, together with border guards from the 105th detachment named after Prince Vladimir the Great, killed six enemy officers.

“The bodies of those killed, their weapons and equipment were captured,” the statement said.

The “elite of the elite” of the Russian special services

The Senezh and Kubinka centers are key units of the Russian Special Operations Forces, reporting directly to the Russian General Staff. Their personnel undergo a rigorous selection process and train using Western programs, carrying out the most risky missions both domestically and internationally.

“The losses of such fighters are especially painful for the Russian Federation. Each of them is not an ordinary soldier, but a specialist who has trained for years,” noted the “I Want to Live” project.

Experts estimate that training one officer at these centers takes years and requires colossal resources.

According to I Want to Live, at least 58 specialists from the Russian Special Operations Forces, GRU, and FSB were killed during the full-scale invasion of Ukrainian territory alone.
