Putin insisted that the war would be won easily; Group dismissal; Report | Russia

Putin has reportedly fired military leaders who said the Ukraine war could be easily won. The dismissal comes on the heels of a series of military operations in Ukraine that have been blamed on the capture of military leaders. According to reports, high-ranking military officials and senior members of the intelligence agency, including the head of the Russian National Guard, Roman Gavrilov, have been executed.

At the same time, Russia will impose a 10-year ban on companies that leave the country due to war and sanctions if they do not return by May 1. About 500 companies were shut down and left the country hoping to return after the war.
