The British ministry said that Russia has been dismissing its leaders since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, but Popov’s dismissal was notable because it “appears to have been more due to him expressing his concerns than due to alleged poor performance.”
The ministry tweeted on Twitter:
Popov’s comments point to the fact that many officers tend to have strong dissatisfaction with the military high command. The complaints largely mirror those of Wagner Group owner Yevgeny Prigozhin before the June 2023 revolution.
Direct criticism of subordinates is likely to be a growing problem for Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff General Gerasimov. (Watchman)
