The Ukrainian Russian Army president appears to have been fired at a slow pace in Donbus’ progress, and he is reportedly drunk and distrustful of his own officers.
As confirmed, the dismissal of General Alexander Dvornikov, named Aleppo’s butcher for destroying the Syrian city in 2015, showed yet another major turmoil in Russian military command, with Vladimir Putin at war. It suggests that you are dissatisfied with the development of.
The British Ministry of Defense said yesterday that the Kremlin had dismissed several generals, including Brigadier General Andrey Serdyukov, commander of the paratroopers.
It has been unconfirmed rumors for weeks that Putin is dissatisfied with Dvornikov’s performance.
Dvornikov, 60, has not been seen in public for more than a month, despite having commanded Russian troops fighting in Ukraine since April.
During this time, the main victory of the Russian army was to occupy the city of Severodonetsk in Donbus, which the Ukrainian army “almost left” yesterday, according to the regional governor.
However, Moscow’s army is plagued by Ukrainian resistance, and its infantry cannot claim many towns, even though they are nearly leveled by Russian artillery.
Samuel Ramani, Associate Fellow of the Royal United Services Institute in London, said Dvornikov was likely taking too long to catch Putin’s priority goal, which was not able to catch Kyiv in March. Stated.
“Dvornikov was given a target date of June 10 to conquer Severodonetsk, and while he missed that deadline, he used his trademark Aleppo-style offensive tactics. “He said. Ramani also described Serdyukov’s dismissal as an “amazing end.”
Serdyukov commanded about 2,000 Russian paratroopers in January, deployed in Kazakhstan to relieve anxiety. The Kremlin saw the mission as a great success and Serdyukov was assigned for promotion.
Putin has been accused of fine control of military operations from the Kremlin, frustrating generals complaining that he is not competent.
Rumors have been circulating for weeks, especially with Dvornikov.
In a YouTube interview this month, Christo Grozev, a journalist at the British open-source research journalism group Bellingcat, knows that Dvornikov is a heavy drinker, and executives who worked with him in Syria trust him. Said it wasn’t.
“Dvornikov’s reputation from Syria in the army was not very high. They generally showed that he was a tough strategist, but they already had less ability to coordinate different types of troops. I knew it wasn’t expensive, “he said.
“He drinks too much alcohol and decides when to start a war at midnight without intelligence support.”
Other media reports that GenGennady Zhidko has replaced Dvornikov as commander of the Russian army in Ukraine. He was also the Deputy Minister of Defense with a brief explanation for maintaining political and ideological discipline within the Russian army, and was involved in Russian military operations in Syria, like Dvornikov.
In March, dissatisfied with not being able to capture Kyiv, Putin dismissed eight generals and the head of the FSB’s intelligence blame for dangerous pre-invasion intelligence.
The Russian president has also dismissed the heads of security agencies in various regions because he has not shown sufficient loyalty to him.
