Russian Lieutenant General Yakov Rezantsev confirmed alive despite 2022 reports of death

Investigative reporting by Slidstvo.Info confirms that Russian Lieutenant General Yakov Rezantsev, previously reported killed at Chornobaivka in 2022, is alive. Evidence was derived from intercepted correspondence involving a pro-Russian cleric in occupied Crimea.
