Putin Fires Five Generals as Russia's Military Failures in Ukraine Continue
Newsweek ^ | 6/1/2022 | DARRAGH ROCHE

Russian President Vladimir Putin has fired five generals and one police colonel, according to a report from Moscow-based media group RBC, amid the country's military failures in Ukraine.

-snip-

RBC reported on Wednesday that it had obtained a copy of Putin's decree and listed the names and positions of the individuals who were reportedly dismissed from their posts.

Those fired included Major General of Police Vasily Kukushkin, who was head of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Vladimir region; Major General Alexander Laas, deputy head of the Main Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Altai Territory and Major General Andrey Lipilin, head of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Yaroslavl Region.

Major General Alexander Udovenko of the Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Major General Yuri Instrankin, deputy head of the Department for Logistics and Medical Support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were also reportedly dismissed.

Putin has also reportedly fired Police Colonel Emil Musin, who was the first deputy head of the Forensic Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The reports of the most recent firings come after Putin reportedly dismissed other senior officials last month. On May 19, the U.K. Ministry of Defense reported that Putin had fired two senior commanders - Lieutenant General Serhiy Kisel, who had commanded the 1st Guards Tank Army, and Vice Admiral Igor Osipov of the Black Sea Fleet.

Osipov was reportedly fired following the sinking of the Russian flagship Moskva, which was a major embarrassment to the Russians but considered a significant victory by the Ukrainians.

General Valery Gerasimov, the chief of general staff, is still reportedly on staff but he was not present at the Victory Day parade on May 9

This comment is in the article that Newsweek referenced. Looks like you skepticism is 100% correct:

“The dismissal of the generals of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from high positions is associated with personnel rotation, press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov told RIA Novosti .”

Three-month military service contracts just expired on May 31 for thousands of Putin’s Buryat and Dagestani contract troops and they’re on their way home.

And the six-month contracts for Putin’s other contract fighters that started January 1 expire on June 30.

The collapse is going to be fun to watch. Especially now that the Chechens are being forced to fight and die in place of the Buryats and Dagestanis who went home.

Russia has practically ceased to suffer losses during the special operation in Ukraine, this is the result of a change in the approach to the conduct of hostilities - Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Kartapolov.

“We have practically stopped losing people. The extreme figures released by the Ministry of Defense in March are 1,351 dead. At present, of course, there are wounded, but there are no such number of dead. And this is the result of a change in approach to the tactics of warfare,” he said.

According to Andrey Kartapolov, at the initial stage, when the Russian Armed Forces entered the territory under the control of Ukraine, no weapons were used. However, after the Russian military began to be shot and captured, the tactics were changed.

“Now this tactic is bringing tangible results,”concluded the parliamentarian.

“Fire them? Why not just send them to the front like Stalin and Hitler?”

They’ll be closer to the front and will work their way to our people and ask for political asylum. Then we will be stuck with them like those from Central or South America now. And Biden will provide them with transportation trying to get information from them before he sets them up in business. Maybe a job with Burisma. Hunter can take care of that.

I wanted the Telluride in April 2020, but the availability kept moving out and the premium kept going up.

Well, Lincoln did the same until he found Ulysses Grant.

Those FReepers who want a decisive Russian victory are hoping for the same.

The fact that the names of generals are posted in the Ukrainian transcription shows where this fake came from.

The ships of the Black Sea Fleet fired a salvo of cruise missiles. (witnesses counted eight)

An air alert has been declared practically throughout Ukraine.

IL RUSSO 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
⚔️ Explosions are reported in the Kyiv and Lvov regions. Air defense systems worked in the Kyiv region.
We are waiting for the results of the arrivals⚔️

The head of the Lviv region announced the explosions in the Stryi region.

Ukrainian sources report that at least some of the missiles fired from the Black Sea flew through the Beksidy tunnel in the Lviv region. The facility is one of the bottlenecks for the supply of Western weapons and equipment, as well as fuel from Poland.

The fire destruction of the object clearly demonstrates the attention of the Russian Defense Ministry to the issue of reducing Ukraine’s logistical capabilities.

However, the tunnel itself is an extremely difficult target: we have already noted that a powerful missile and bomb strike is needed to fully disable the facility.

In our humble opinion, the best option is to hit the bridges leading to the strategically important tunnel.

Therefore, we once again publish a list of important objects of the railway network of Ukraine:
▪️ List of all bridges across the Dnieper
▪️ List of railway bridges in the west of Ukraine
▪️Traction substations: part 1 and part 2
▪️ Critical substations on the border with Poland
▪️Depot: list 1 and list 2
▪️ Recovery trains

They reported on the strikes on the Beskydy tunnel of the Caliber KR. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of defeating such elements of the enemy’s infrastructure, which I had to recall yesterday .

The blow can be considered zeroing, since methodical work is needed to disable this communication, similar to a series of strikes on the bridge in Zatoka or the use of BPM (high-powered ammunition). Both options are justified, since breaking the logistics links in the supply chain of lethal weapons to Ukraine is a priority task at the moment.

“Caliber” flew in through the Beksidy tunnel. (Pictures on site.)

This is the largest tunnel built in Ukraine since 1991. Laid in the Carpathian mountains. Length - 2 kilometers. This is the only tunnel in the Carpathians in the Western direction. Before the war, up to 60% of cargo transit to Western and Central Europe passed through it.

He looks tired and in pain. I believe the cancer surgery rumors are likely true. So perhaps he does want to clean out dead wood at the top. I don’t see this as such a major problem in the US. Here it seems the biggest problem is major military suppliers who pay politicians who then support expensive programs the military says they don’t want. Since the politicians are being paid campaign money and voted for by people who build the tools of war and employ the voters and taxpayers, they are the happy ones, not the military.

It is nice of Cathi to write the information about best methods to destroy the important Ukraine tunnel for God and everyone to see.

Russia’s Lavrov DENIES Putin is ill after FSB spy claimed the President has ‘three years left to live’ - and says ‘sane people can see he is fine’
Daily Mail ^ | 5/30/2022 | Tom Brown
Posted on 5/30/2022, 11:49:07 AM by marcusmaximus

Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov today denied reports that Vladimir Putin has fallen ill.

Unconfirmed reports persist that Putin, who is turning 70 this year, suffers from deteriorating health issues and may have been diagnosed with cancer and Parkinson’s.

In an interview with French TV, Lavrov said no one ‘sane’ could see any signs of illness in Putin, who reportedly has his food tested before eating it and bans his staff from standing too close to him.

-snip-

‘You can watch him on screens, read and listen to his speeches,’ Lavrov said in comments released by the Russian foreign ministry.

‘I leave it to the conscience of those who spread such rumours.’

Russia is building a battle hardened ground force that is learning how to defeat all the best of NATO’s weapons systems.

This won’t end well for Europe.

Bo Hoskins in “Enemy at the Gates.” He plays Kruschev. Great movie.
