From CNN’s Masha Angelova
Russia's second largest city of St. Petersburg announced the death of a Russian general in Ukraine in a statement of condolence Saturday.
The city expressed condolences for the deputy commander of Russia's 8th Army, Major General Vladimir Frolov, who died in Ukraine this week, the mayor’s press office said in a statement.
St. Petersburg Mayor Alexander Beglov attended the funeral, held at the historic Serafimovskoe Cemetery on Saturday, the statement said.
“Today we say goodbye to a true hero," Beglov said, according to the statement. "Vladimir Petrovich Frolov died a heroic death in battle with Ukrainian nationalists. He sacrificed his life so that children, women and old people in the Donbas would no longer hear the explosions of bombs. So that they stop waiting for death and, leaving home, say goodbye as if it were for the last time."
CNN could not confirm the circumstances of Frolov's death. Several top Russian officers have been killed in Ukraine.
