Also, at least six Russian commanders have been fired from the Russian armed forces.



This is reported by British intelligence.

Ten generals were killed, six commanders were fired, according to British intelligence.

The poor performance of the Russian military during the invasion of Ukraine has cost the Russian military leadership dearly, likely leading to the dismissal of at least six Russian commanders since the outbreak of hostilities in February 2022, the summary said.

We are talking, in particular, about the dismissal of the commanders of the Eastern and Western military districts of Russia.

Colonel General Alexander Chaiko was dismissed from the post of commander of the Eastern Military District in May 2022.

Colonel General Alexander Zhuravlev, commander of the Western Military District since 2018, was absent from the Russian Navy Day celebration in St. Petersburg on July 31, 2022, and was most likely replaced by Lieutenant General Vladimir Kochetkov.

General Oleksandr Dvornikov was removed after he was given overall command of the operation in Ukraine, while General Sergei Surovikin took over command of the Southern Group of Forces from General Gennadiy Zhidko.
