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.
Meanwhile, the pro-Putin Telegram channel Rybar claimed that Anashkin had uncessceraily killed hundreds of men after he sent them to the frontline poorly prepared and ill-equipped for the battle.
The Daily Telegraph reported that the Kremlin or the Russian Army were yet to comment on the alleged sacking.
State media has reported that a source in the ministry of defence acknowledged his dismissal but claimed that it was due to a 'planned rotation'.
Nevertheless, Russian bloggers have welcomed the removal claiming it could lead to improvements in military operations and place more value on the lives of soldiers.
Anashkin was only appointed commander of the Russian Army’s Southern Group in May.

If this was from another source than the Daily Mail. Color me skeptical!
British press - BS on a pile of more BS.
This was reported in other sources last month. It’s old news, but he was replaced.
Must be neocon lies unless it’s confirmed by TASS, RT and Sputnik.

Guess he’ll be point man or tail end charlie on a Long Range recon patrol soon. Or maybe be leaning out of a high-rise window to get some fresh air.
Did we ever sack the general that made such a mess of our Afghanistan withdraw? I don’t think so, so it is nice to have a country show us the how ACCOUNTABILITY works.
Correct.👍
Military Summary Channel reported it.
Well that is probably the biggest sin a general can commit, second only to a scout who gives his commander false information.
This was last month. Not current
More likely he was fired for insufficient sharing. Every Russian general and colonel fakes their reports of success
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))

Looks like we have a new Graduate of YouCrayne School of Propaganda.

He’s filling the void left by revmom when she gave up shilling for Zelensky because she couldn’t take the pounding by MAGA FReepers.
Out of a cannon?
Seriously he's in a no-win situation. If he told the truth he'd be shot for incompetence, if he lies and is caught he's at least fired or worse. Kind of like German generals in 1945.
