Gen. Aleksandr Dvornikov, picked by Russian President Vladimir Putin last month to take over the invasion of Ukraine, has disappeared, according to a new report.
The so-called Butcher of Syria has not been seen in two weeks, leading officials to speculate that he is no longer in command of the campaign, the New York Times reported Tuesday.
Dvornikov, who was given command of Russia's Southern Military District after achieving infamy for his brutal campaigns in Syria, was tasked in early April with conquering Ukraine's eastern Donbas region after a large-scale attack on Ukraine floundered in the face of heavy resistance led by President Volodymyr Zelensky and backed by much of the West.

U.S. officials said shortly after Dvornikov arrived that he attempted to get what the report characterized as "disjointed air and land units to coordinate their attacks." However, as the headline of the report stresses, U.S. officials said Russian forces are repeating the same mistakes that prompted Putin to turn to Dvornikov in the first place, even as they have captured some territory.

Sometimes it’s better not to be seen.
Tokyo Rose, January 1945:
“Today the Japanese Imperial Navy sank 3 American aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, and 12 destroyers. The Army also threw the American Marines off of Iwo Jima.”
Another Ukrainian surrender video, this time from the recent ill-fated Kherson incursion.

“We are a separate 18th Marine Battalion of the 35th Brigade, appealing to the public for help, to influence the top leadership of the brigade for their criminal orders, sending us to attack with the enemy under their shelling.
We are suffering heavy losses, over the past four days, according to our doctors, there were 80 people killed and wounded, and according to our data, there are much more killed and wounded, there are also missing and captured. Those who try to tell the truth are taken away in an unknown direction.
During these 4 days of the offensive, we did not capture a single settlement.
We do not refuse to defend our homeland, but with a different leadership that values the life of UA patriots. We ask for your help to withdraw the rest of the battalion, which the command considers traitors”
So what??
At least a dozen similar mutiny videos have been made, with platoon/company level officers reading, with their troops around them.
But the "Tokyo Rose 1945" Western MSM is still in full denial mode of the facts on the ground.
Gen. Aleksandr Dvornikov, picked by Russian President Vladimir Putin last month to take over the invasion of Ukraine, has disappeared ... in a cloud of red mist when a round from a M777 hit his compound.
And not be true, but could be accurate. You know, fake but true.
Putin hasn’t been seen for over a week, too. Sepsis it seems after his photo op with Lukashenko.
UA bridgehead still holding, even their pontoon bridge remains intact; there are no Orcs coming to drive them away.
But keep on posting your Orc propaganda, by all means - we need a laugh.
Hmmmm....maybe he cashed in
Such is most of the "news" lately.

No canned videos of Putin either.
Also, Denis Pushilin head of DPR wounded in Lyman yesterday with most of his Chechen escorts killed.
LOL,
After the obvious Pentagon effort to kill Russian generals and brag about it, maybe these guys implemented some extreme OPSEC.
Another day, another “ Russia is losing” Western media piece.

Since Lyman is in Orc hands, it must have been an artillery strike.Which would account for escort deaths.
Yes. Artillery got them.
