 Russian soldier who destroyed a German-made leopard tank in a battle in Ukraine has been given a 1 million rubel reward by a private foundation, Russia's Defense Ministry said on June 20. It published a video showing the soldier, Andrey Kratsov, sitting on a hospital bed and receiving a reward certificate from Alexander Karolin, a three-time Olympic champion in Greco-Roman wrestling. The ministry did not say when and where Kratsov had destroyed the tank or what he was being treated for in hospital. In the video, he appeared to be missing his right hand. Russia says its forces have destroyed a number of German-made leopards and US-supplied Bradley fighting vehicles since Ukraine launched a counteroffensive earlier this month. Reuters could not independently verify the numbers involved. The Defense Ministry last week said it had paid individual bonuses to more than 10,000 Russian servicemen since the start of the conflict in Ukraine, something Moscow calls a special military operation for destroying or capturing Ukrainian or Western-supplied hardware. It said the rate was 100,000 rubles for a tank and 300,000 rubles for a plane.
