------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

top Russian commander Viktor Sokolov was in fact killed, after Moscow
released footage of him in which he appears alive and well. Kyiv
reported on Monday its forces had killed Sokolov, the commander of
Russia's Black Sea Fleet, and 33 other officers in Crimea last week.
