The command of the command of the occupiers in Ukraine is destroyed: one more general has been dismissed - ISW

Removal from the post of Russian Major-General Volodymyr Seliverstov, already the eccold of the 106th Guards Division of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, may be associated with the cleaning . About it reports "Institute of War Research" in the summary of July 15.

The Russian command recently dismissed the commander of the 58th General Army (Southern Military District) Major General Ivan Popov, who probably tried to complain about the position of Russian troops in the western part of Zaporozhye personally Putin. It is reported that Popov spoke of a lack of rotation, heavy losses and lack of effective counter -battery struggle. The difficulties mentioned are likely to affect the occupation forces in Ukraine.

The removal of General Seliverstov only four days after Popov may indicate that he was decided to be released for the same reasons. Military researchers believe that Popov's actions testify to the trend in the command of Russian troops in Ukraine: lower commanders try to undermine the authority of the senior leadership and thus achieve commitment in the Kremlin.

The problems inherent in the occupation troops in Ukraine are deepened by the false decisions of the senior military-political leadership, which encourages volitional commanders to challenge the senior military command in an attempt to preserve the personnel and manage capable units.

The relative efficiency of defense of the 58th All-Military Army and the 106th Division of the Air Force against the background of Ukrainian counter-offensive is evidence that it is one of the most capable units of the occupiers. Both Popov and Seliverstov were likely to contribute to their relative efficiency in that they were ready to challenge their superiors. But Popov's statements obviously crossed the border. Seliverstov could follow the example of a colleague.

The removal of the Russian General Seliverstov is related to the cleaning of rebellious commanders against the background of problems with the chain of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. Seliverstov's release indicates that the Russian military leadership is deeply concerned about the command of the troops in Ukraine.

The calls from Popov, as well as the commander of the VAT of the Russian Federation General Mikhail Teplinsky and the founder of the Wagner PEC "Yevgeny Prigogine, can be supported and created a dangerous precedent for further disobedience. It should be reminded that, according to the information of the Armed Forces officer Anatoly Stefan, the Russian Combrigen Maxim Kharlamov was liquidated in June 2023.
