Pereanings in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation talk about the Kremlin's military failures in Ukraine - intelligence

The appointment of General Valery Gerasimov by the commander of the group of Russian troops in Ukraine can cause serious dissatisfaction in the ranks of ultradranationalists and "warriors" who previously accused him of military failures. During hostilities in Ukraine, the Kremlin faced personnel problems in the ranks of the highest military leadership.

In an attempt to change the situation on January 11, General Valery Gerasimov was appointed to the post of commander of the so -called "his" - this indicates that the Kremlin is aware of how well the military campaign is going to them. This is stated in the new report of the UK Ministry of Defense of January 12.

"The appointment of the General Staff Chief Commander of the Theater of Military Action is an indicator of the increasing seriousness of the situation in which Russia is facing and a clear recognition that the campaign does not meet Russia's strategic goals," the British Defense Ministry noted.

Another permutation in the command of the Russian army in Ukraine can cause discontent in the ultradranational environment and "military" who accused Gerasimov for military failures, according to the British department. While General Sergey Surovikin, who was now put one of Gerasimov's assistants, used their wide support. At the same time, the fact that Surovikina was removed from the post of commander, who at one time had high hopes in Russia, talks about a blow to his authority and influence.

We will remind, on January 11 the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoigu appointed the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Valery Gerasimov, a new commander of the united group of Russian troops in Ukraine. In this position, he will change General Sergey Surovikin, who became his deputy.
