He is claimed to be killed by Ukraine's Storm shadow strike 20.11.2024. 2001:999:50D:1980:245B:23FF:FE57:13BE (talk) 19:29, 22 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

This claim is on X: we cannot add it here, even as an, even as a claim, unless the claim (or fact) is reliably sourced. Springnuts (talk) 19:49, 23 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Some sources saying so, but nothing confirmed yet. We will have to wait. Harizotoh9 (talk) 02:21, 24 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

ISW reporting that he is reportedly “status unknown” - “The insider source claimed that LMD First Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Valery Solodchuk was at the headquarters at the time of the strike and that his status is unknown. ISW cannot confirm these claims.” https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-november-21-2024

Not enough imo.

Springnuts (talk) 21:13, 24 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

It's only reported by English or American tabloids, or Ukrainian sources, and citing a source from Telegram. No mainstream sources are reporting this since nothing is confirmed. Harizotoh9 (talk) 04:17, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

BLM still apply since it can't be confirmed he has died. Discussion: Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Valery_Solodchuk Harizotoh9 (talk) 05:55, 27 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
