He wasn't sackes neither was he turned deputy.

Due to the large scale of operation and potentially opening a new front, Putin deemed it necessary to hire another commmader alongside Surovikin. Surovikin and the new guy are both 4star general.

Don't cry, joor, from being the commander of the Russia invasion force to the deputy,
You don't even know how chain of command work's in the military, how can they have two commanders commanding a military operation grin

One is the commander of all Russian ground force (in peace time).
The second in command of chief of staff (deputy to Geraismov).

My guess 2 new Generals, 2 new fronts.

The other 2 generals:
Oleg Salyukov (dark green uniform) and Alexei Kim (bluish green uniform)

Maybe Oleg Salyukov, as the commander of all ground forces, would take the harder job of northern front.

Every country rotates their military command during a war.

Alexei Kim would take the southern front.

Don't forget Belarus equally is suffering same issue (China with Taiwan) & (Russia with Ukraine) is suffering - a continued erosion of it's sovereignty Which is why Russia recently, choose to Arm & even train Belarus military.

Look at the way you're sharing position in the Russia military as if you are Putin grin
Please Even if they are 25 fronts a commander mostly a cornel takes charges of each front's, but there is always a commanding officer of the entire invasion force.
Which was the position the so called armendegon general was holding, pending just yesterday he was shamefully remove and made deputy commander of the Russia invasion force.
I don't care if Russia changes military commanders, the best militaries in the world do so,.
My problem is the hype you Russian guys the general,
Yet it was during its time the Ukrainians bombed the Crimea bridge, retook Kherson.

in Drug business, Killing/Arresting the street level dealers (who are only hustling) doesn't solve the main problem - you try to get to the main KingPin hence reason when a streetLevel drug dealer is arrested, law enforcement officers often are willing to give you soft punishment or even set you free if you're able to give information(s) leading to arrest of those higher up the rank.

Now Ukraine is like the streetLevel drug dealer, NATO & EU are those much higher up the Rank. it's okay assuming Russia as the LawEnforcement. Now should Ukraine be finished off like you suggested, it's only a matter of time before NATO + EU + others come up with another strategy.

Okay that was the initial plan of russia then why were they asking Zelensky to surrender when they started the botched invasion

@ Obedience4
Common bro, the guy achieved more than any Russia Gen that have lead this operation.
Within 3 months, Ukraine energy infrastructures were destroyed something Russia should have started with in the first week of the war, because that how you defeat your enemy.

Simple rule.
Even it’s surprising to USA and many NATO generals that Russia did not touch Ukraine energy infrastructures immediately the war broke out.


He pulled out Russia troops from east part of Kherson without losing men.
Kherson is divided by large water like Niger/Delta bridge and if Russia will have to secure that place from Ukraine artillery then Russia troops will have to move forward more than planned, that will be a mistake just like USA troops moved beyond NK to China border changed the war in favour of NK troops.
Russia still controlled over 70% of Kherson region.

As much as I hate this war, it's folly to expect Ukraine to win against Russia. It will never happen in this world, or in the next to come. The earlier they reach a negotiated end the better for Ukraine.

Ukraine is defending their lands. USSR did similar thing during battle of Stalingrad. Mobilized nearly all men against Germany. USSR lost more men than any nation during ww2. Russia is presently using conscripts and imprisoned criminals to fight UA. Putin wants use his men as cannon fodders to exhaust Ukraine munitions and make west to tire of helping Ukraine. That is the Russia military tactics for centuries.
Any victory that Russia can get from this war is going to be Pyrrhic one.

How do you feel about lives of Russians and Ukrainians cut short due to war? Do you think war is a ludo game by counting scores? You guys used to hail Russia/USSR for winning battle of Stalingrad but you are asking Ukraine not to fight. For your information, Russia has heavier casualties too as conscripts and criminals are turned to cannon fodders.

Hope you're very much aware Ukraine is the second-largest European country after Russia ?

Hope you're aware Ukraine is assisted both in Military infrastructure, and Soldiers as no be only Ukraine soldiers dey fight for battle field. At least US & EU soldiers (in form of mercenaries) dey there.

Hope you're very much aware Russia isn't really after destroying Ukraine, else they would have CarPert BOMBed (no need of anything Nuclear sef) them since.

Hope you're very much aware Russia is aware the WEST wants to weaken them, and they just knowing that means it never would be effective.

Hope you're aware in Ukraine, Russia has Air superiority and NATO have refused to declare a NoFlyZone because they don't want Russia Wahala. Now since you know Russia has Air superiority in Ukraine, I presume you know what that means also.

Russia is not after destroying Ukraine...then what are they doing bombing infrastructure and carpet bombing civilians?

All these Russian supporters don't think properly...!!!
Fact is Russia didn't expect what they met on the ground and their plan may probably be a shock and awe operation and more than 7months after they are still running back and forth with bloody nose and don't know what else to do and using nukes would be suicidal to them...!!!

Wow. Comparing soledar town to Putin plans to remove the Ukraine government to celebrating a Small town, this is Russia will are talking about, with is famed red army, having to rely on Wagner to get tiny advancement in over 6 months.

When I said Ukraine will never win Russia, I was speaking in general terms. Not this war, even a blind man can see with the little assistance Ukraine is getting it is capable of winning the Russians Im the battle Field. This last few month's have proved it.

Russia is already weaken the Russia military is in shambles, the army is having to deal with the Wagner group overshadowing it, the Wagner group owner release a statements, the military comes to debunked it, Putng a new commander only to demote him after 4 months,, shamefully buying weapons from Iran,
Putin is a loner in world politics, Russia is becoming isolated by the day, business are pulling out,

Typical western troll style narrative. You guys don't get tired. So Ukraine is winning by losing most of its economic landscape with the economy destroyed, more than a 100,000 soldiers dead (Usula said that herself), much of the country in ruins, and now mobalising girls to the Frontline. It's folks like you who believed that Iran had weapons of mass destruction because the western media told you so.

I would have loved to debate your ignorance but seeing the level it has gotten, it would be a waste of time. When you said Russia is already weakened, I gave up on you. Sorry, bro. cool You're too emotional to think critically and accept the obvious. The obvious is, the Ukraine as we know it will never be the same again. The earlier you learn to deal with this the better. cool

Col. General Surovikin was still made Vice Chief of Staff of the Special Military Operation (SMO). The fact that the Russian Military's Chief of Staff, General. Gerasimov has been placed in charge of the SMO should worry Ukraine and the West A LOT. With Russia's Chief of Defence Staff in charge now with ghe full might of the Russian military (Army, Aerospace, Navy, Missiles, etc) under his command and the freezing conditions in Ukraine, the scope of this whole war just grew. Something big is coming...

The OP you're trying to educate is too emotional to even dare think along this line. He is busy celebrating th removal of General Amaggeddon. Much of these UkroNazis sympathizers are too myopic to realise that replacing the general with the head of the Russian military is a precursor to something more sinister to come. I mentioned this on my first comment on this thread but our brothers on the other side are too busy happy that Surovikin has been moved from first to second in command. There is a reason why Macron is suddenly asking for an unplanned meeting with Putin. More shyte is about to hit the fan.

The Russian military already weakened? Really? Same military that has already addressed its manpower deficiency with its industrial might now geared to winning this war? Same military that's now receiving better weapons from new Su-34s and 35s to Su-57s, new missiles like the S-550s and the Zircon Hypersonic missiles with a new Naval Frigate, new tanks like the T_72B3Ms and T-90Ms that are wrecking havoc presently in Eastern Ukraine, plus additional BMP-3s, BTRs, etc? But most of all, same military with a force that has already been bloodied and has gained considerable combat experience, have stopped whatever excuse of an offensive the Ukrainians initially threw up in Kremmina up north, and are now advances with advances now increasing in meters? Same military with a MASSIVE firepower advantage from artillery to attack helicopters and fixed wing attack aircrafts, bombers, tanks, etc? THAT military is "weakened"?

The guy is just too emotional. Let him be. cool
