A general in Russia has been fired after he was accused of faking reports of battleground successes in Ukraine.
Colonel General Gennady Anashkin had been the commander of the Russian Army's 'Southern Group' which is fighting in eastern Ukraine.
A Russian military blogging channel, Military Informant, has claimed that 'false reports about supposedly deep successful breakthroughs' started to come from Siversk close to where Anashkin's soldiers are fighting Ukraine.

His alleged sacking comes after a top Russian general was allegedly killed by British Storm Shadow missiles on November 20.

I can only conclude that Putin is willing to absorb the cost of doing these things because he is sure he will not ever have to give any of it back.
Considering the fact that the eastern side of the Ukraine is the richest part, it’s very unlikely.

To the forum, why do we not see more biological weapon attacks given that bad actors could certainly afford to make them? Are they really so unpredictable and dangerous to the deployers that they dare not be used?
Shifting antigen superflu, etc? Or do these things really not exist like in books and movies?
This fired general looks the same as Billy Idol does these days -- "Rebel Yell!" Billy mostly plays Vegas these days.
I agree, but rarely are generals fired for doing a good job
Perhaps, but declaring someone ignorant without substance to back that claim is also a false argument
Well we finally agree Jon
