Gerasimov fires capable Russian generals to take control of Russian military hierarchy – British intelligence

Disagreements among the military leadership continue in Russia. In particular, the Russian colonel-general Mykhailo Teplinsky, who was a respected commander in the Russian Federation, was probably dismissed.

Russian colonel-general Mykhailo Teplinsky was probably dismissed from his post. Before that, he was one of the key operational commanders on the Russian-Ukrainian front.

The British Ministry of Defense reported this on Twitter.

It is noted that Teplinsky was the leader of the relatively successful withdrawal of Russian troops from the west of the Dnieper in November 2022. As a result, he was considered a capable and pragmatic commander in Russia.

«There is a real possibility that the debate over the tasks that were added to the Airborne Forces contributed to its dismissal: the Airborne Forces were often used to hold positions traditionally reserved for motorized infantry,» British intelligence said.

At the same time, it is currently unknown whether Teplinsky, among other things, will continue to lead the airborne forces of Russia.

«Teplinsky’s dismissal is likely to be another sign of continuing rifts in the senior hierarchy of the Russian operation, as General Valery Gerasimov tries to impose his personal authority on the campaign,» the British Ministry of Defense said.

It will be recalled that earlier the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Serhiy Shoigu appointed the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, General Valery Gerasimov, as the new commander of the United Group of Russian Forces in Ukraine. In this position, he will replace General Serhii Surovykin.

With the arrival of Gerasimov’s command, he first of all decided to bring order to routine discipline in the Russian army. This caused a stir among the occupiers. British intelligence found out that such measures in the Russian army were met with skeptical responses. So, the demands for military personnel to shave more often caused the most ridicule.
