British Defense Ministry intelligence said yesterday that the Russian government dismissed and dismissed generals and military commanders who failed to meet military objectives in the war in Ukraine. The information was posted by the British organization on its social networks.
“In recent weeks, Russia has dismissed senior commanders who had significantly underperformed in the early stages of its invasion of Ukraine,” writes the British Ministry of Defense.
According to UK military intelligence, the commander of the 1st Guards Tank Army of the Russian Guards, Lieutenant General Serhiy Kisel, has been suspended from duty for failing to capture the Ukrainian municipality of Kharkov. In addition to him, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Igor Osipov, also received a landing sanction due to the sinking of the missile cruiser Moskva.
The UK body also said that Chief of Staff Valeriy Gerasimov is in a “dark situation” over the confidence of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Russian Chief of Staff Valeriy Gerasimov will likely remain in the post, but it is unclear whether President Putin will still maintain his confidence,” they say.
The situation in Kharkov is still tense
Even without Russian domination, the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, is still a hotspot during the conflict – Ukraine claims as recently as Monday Russia managed to retake part of its border with the city.
“We are proud of our soldiers who restored the symbol of the border. We thank everyone who risked their lives and liberated Ukraine from the Russian invaders,” Oleg Sinegubov, governor of the Kharkiv region, told Telegram.
