Russian President Vladimir Putin has ousted the country’s navy chief after a series of humiliating Ukrainian attacks decimated Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet, according to multiple reports.
Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov, 61, Russia’s navy commander-in-chief since May 2019, has been replaced by Northern Fleet Cmdr. Alexander Moiseyev, reported several Russian outlets, including the St. Petersburg news service Fontanka and the pro-Putin Izvestia newspaper.
Moiseyev, 61 — who holds the country’s highest honorary title, “Hero of Russia” — was said to have been tapped as acting navy commander-in-chief and will soon be appointed on a permanent basis.
The Russian navy’s rank-and-file have reportedly been notified of Moiseyev’s promotion, and Yevmenov is not expected to be returning to his office at the military arm’s headquarters, the Admiralty, in St. Petersburg, reported Fontanka.
The Kremlin on Monday refused to comment on the alleged naval-brass shakeup, which is typically announced by presidential decree.

Didn’t take Russia long to get rid of their crappy types.
By the way, how’s your buddy, Biden, doing these days?
He’s not my buddy and you know it. Why do you feel it necessary to support bloodthirsty dictators like Putin?
I e often thought a lot of this stuff turns up on those upscale resale sites.
Oops wrong thread, sorry
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
RuZZZZian orcs and hobbits, oh my!
Biden is you buddy!
“He’s not my buddy and you know it.”
You seem to be in love with Biden’s TOP PRIORITY, which is the war in Ukraine.
I’ll let others here determine whether you’re Biden’s BIGGEST FAN on FR.
“ Yevmenov is not expected to be returning to his office at the military arm’s headquarters.”
But he is expected to fall out a 9th floor window into an open grave sometime next week.

Too bad that the Rooskies seem to be winning the WWI trench warfare.
Well, in fairness, this firing should have been done long ago. In any country’s armed forces, ANY military commanders displaying incompetence and/or negligence should be removed from any place where he could cost losses in people or material.
Isn’t it very unprofessional for the NY Post to use “orc” in an article title like this?
Did he ax him, or did he really ax him???
Great example of Principle of War Propaganda #3
Just remember the powerful American navy is having trouble defending against the Houthis.
I counted 3 inflammatory adjectives in the first sentence. That tells me the rest of the story is nothing but propaganda.
Thanks for that. Copied and saved.
After Z sacked Zaluzhny and replaced him with “the butcher of Bakhmut”, Syrskyi proceeded to replace most of the generals and colonels responsible for the rout in and west of Avdiivka. Today it’s being reported that the head of Uke air defense (four Patriots systems up in smoke) has also been fired. Yesterday the head of the 47th mechanized brigade (all Abrams committed kaput) was sacked for the sixth time. So yes, all the heads rolling are symptomatic of the panic and dissension among the NATO Quislings in Kiev.
