A Russian general said he had been dismissed as a commander after telling the military leadership about the dire situation at the front in Ukraine.
A Russian army general has said he was removed from his job for telling the truth about the war in Ukraine and the conditions of his soldiers on the front lines.
According to audio released by a Russian lawmaker, this revelation came from Major General Ivan Popov, who commanded Russia's troops in the southern Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine, leading the 58th Combined Armed Army.
This news has come to light at a time when it has been more than two weeks since the Russian army's uprising was put down, the future of the mercenaries remains uncertain, and the course of the Ukraine war remains uncertain.
According to NBC News, in an audio message apparently intended for his soldiers but posted to Telegram on Wednesday by Andrey Gurulev, a politician and a former deputy commander of Russia's Southern Military Command, Popov appears to say he was removed from his post for speaking the truth.
