(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JUN 25 - In June, the Russian high command
"has highly likely removed several Generals from key operational
command roles in the war in Ukraine," the UK Ministry of Defence
said in its latest intelligence update today. These includes the
commander of Airborne Forces (VDV) General-Colonel Andrei
Serdyukov; and commander Southern Group of Forces (SGF) General
of the Army Alexandr Dvornikov. "Command of the SGF is likely to
transfer to Colonel-General Sergei Surovikin, as SGF continues
to perform a central part in Russia's offensive in the Donbas.
For over thirty years, Surovikin's career has been dogged with allegations of corruption and brutality," the update reads.
