The Kremlin fired the general who commanded the first army of the invaders/Russian Ministry of Defense
In Russia, Lieutenant General Sergei Kisel was allegedly fired. He commanded the first tank army of the Western Military District.
Before that, his deputy lost his post, journalist Roman Tsymbalyuk said.
Why generals are fired in Russia
Tsymbalyuk explained that the failure of the war in Ukraine was the reason for his dismissal. The Russians accused Kisel of failing to achieve their goals.
In particular, because of the huge losses among the personnel.
The dismissal of another military man
Formerly Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu removed the commander of the 6th combined arms army of the aggressor state Vladislav Yershov. Now he is under house arrest. The reason is the same – large losses of personnel in Ukraine.
