Several generals have been removed from their commands by Russia's military chiefs as a result of the progress of the Ukraine war, UK Defence Intelligence has said
UK Defence Intelligence said Gen Dvornikov had probably for a time been acting as over-all operational commander in Ukraine.
The pair are just the latest officials to lose their positions as a result of the course of the war, according to UK intelligence officials, with Lieutenant General Serhiy Kisel, who commanded the elite 1st Guards Tank Army, also said to have been likely suspended for his failure to capture Kharkiv, and Vice Admiral Igor Osipov, who commanded Russia's Black Sea Fleet, said to have likely been fired for the sinking of the cruiser Moskva in April.
For over 30 years, Col-Gen Surovikin's career is said to have been dogged with allegations of corruption and brutality. Ukraine's general staff reported that its troops had some success in the Kherson region, pushing back the Russians from defensive positions near the village of Olhine, as a result of the latest in a series of Ukrainian counter-assaults.
