“Voenkor” noted that the dismissal of the commander was probably the result of a catastrophic offensive for the occupying forces on Ugledar, which led to serious losses of both personnel and military equipment of the Russian army. The report also says that according to Putin’s decree, the general of the Russian army was forced to resign. Alexander Dvornikov, who was reported to have commanded Russian forces in Ukraine in April 2022; former commander of the Western Military District, Colonel General Alexander Zhuravlevas well as a number of other unnamed commanders.

Another Russian “military correspondent” propagandist Alexander Sladkov claims that Avakyants is allegedly instructed to “create and organize the work of a completely new organization.”
