The commander of Russia's airborne forces, Colonel General Mikhail Teplinsky, has been named as the new commander of Russia's Dnipro military group in Ukraine, the state-run TASS news agency reported on Monday, citing a source.
Russia's armed forces are divided into around half a dozen groups. The popular military blogger "Operation Z" said the Dnipro group was deployed in southern Ukraine, where the U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War said on Oct. 19 that Ukrainian forces appeared to have broken through Russian lines on the left, southern bank of the Dnipro River.
On Aug. 2, Teplinsky made a speech to members and veterans of the airborne service in honor of Paratroopers' Day, in which he said at least 8,500 paratroopers had been wounded in Ukraine.
