Moscow has begun sacking commanders of military units involved in the fighting in Ukraine as part of a growing crackdown on high-level insubordination against top officials in the Defense Ministry.
The firings involve commanders from some of the Russian army’s most combat-effective units, such as the recent dismissal of Gen. Ivan Popov of the 58th Combined Arms Army.
“These formations and units are conducting defensive and offensive operations in key sectors of the front in Ukraine,” the ISW said Sunday. “The 58th CAA has conducted a relatively successful defense against Ukrainian counteroffensives in western Zaporizhia Oblast.” Gen. Popov complained that his troops were not supplied with an adequate number of counter-battery radars to offset the increasing number of U.S. and NATO-supplied artillery units that Ukraine was putting on the battlefield.
