Russia's defence mnistry said the leadership change was due to the 'expansion of the scale of the tasks at hand'.
RUSSIA HAS ONCE again replaced its top commander in Ukraine, putting army chief of staff Valery Gerasimov in charge of its forces in the conflict, the defence ministry said yesterday.
Surovikin will work alongside two other generals, Oleg Salyukov and Alexei Kim, according to the statement. “Moving components around doesn’t change the overall sum,” Rybar said on messaging app Telegram, adding “we want to believe in a miracle in the 11th month of the special operation.”Surovikin, an army veteran with a reputation for ruthlessness, was tasked with turning the tide in Ukraine in October as the Russian army faced a series of battlefield defeats.
