A Russian commander who presided over attacks in Ukraine that led thousands of men to slaughter has been dismissed from his post, Western officials have claimed.
General Rustam Muradov had led Russia's Eastern Group of Forces (EGF) for almost a year, having taken up the role after his predecessor's attempt to assault Kyiv in the first weeks of the war.
Muradov, a close ally of Russia's military chief Valery Gerasimov, earlier this year launched an attack on the mining town of Vuhledar in the eastern Donetsk region.
His tactic, a frontal assault in broad daylight, ended in utter disaster.
Survivors claim one marine brigade of 5,000 men was almost wiped out, and at least 130 armoured vehicles, including 36 tanks, were destroyed.
Shocking aerial footage taken by Ukrainian drones showed corpses and the twisted wreckage of vehicles littering fields around the town.
Muradov was also involved in planning a similarly doomed attack on the village of Pavlivka, in which hundreds of Putin's troops were reportedly gunned down.
Britain's Ministry of Defence (MoD) said his departure was the most senior military dismissal of 2023 so far – but warned more are likely as Moscow fails to achieve its objectives in eastern Ukraine.

Kind of like the Winter War before the outbreak of WWII.
The Winter War happened a few months after Hitler and Stalin conquered Poland.
And yet we are still saddled with Lloyd Austin and that shitbird Milley.
Tell your Putin to cancel the Holy Lake mosque.
It’s amazing that the Daily Mail hasn’t won this war yet. What’s taking so long?
Tell your Putin to cancel the Holy Lake mosque.
The Russians are still going to win regardless and the Ukes and West know this.

You forgot “Bakhmut Has Fallen: Day 309”.
P.S. Tell your Putin to cancel the Holy Lake mosque.
Anyone surprised by this ought to take a peek at the US civil war. Lots of generals blundered and then fired. It is, unfortunately, how you weed out the Aholes.
Over here in the US it is a bit easier right now. If your general blindly supports a corrupt regime like Ukraine/Zelyskyy and wears a pride flag — there is a worthless Ahole.
It hasn’t fallen yet, but it looks very close according to the battle map.
He’s not my Putin. I not for either side, but history will show that Putin was in the right on this conflict.
Let them fight it out without outside interference until they’re blue in the face and move on.
PUTIN STARTED SOMETHING HE CANNOT GRACEFULLY EXIT FROM.
That’s exactly what lot of Germans were saying about their Leader in 1942.
Now you know why his nickname is "Vlod the Impaled"... 
But the Russians have been way more correct than all of the propaganda the West has been putting out.
