The former head of military logistics, General Dmitry Bulgakov, has been removed from his post due to his “transfer to another position”, the Kremlin said
THE Russia announced today that it is replacing its head of military logistics as its operations in Ukraine face difficulties in that area.
The general Dmitri Bulgakov was removed from the post of undersecretary of defense due to his “transfer to another position,” the ministry said, without elaborating. He will be replaced by the colonel Mikhail Mizinchev who “will be responsible for the logistical supply of the armed forces” he added. The 60-year-old Mizinchev, who until now was the head of the National Defense Control Center, will thus assume the duties of deputy minister.
During his long career Mizinchev held various positions of responsibility in the army general staff. He has been sanctioned by the West for his role in siege of Mariupol by Russian forces last spring.
The change in the general staff comes days after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the mobilization of tens of thousands of reservists to give new impetus to military operations in Ukraine. This mobilization is, however, an organizational challenge, since it requires gathering reservists from the four corners of a vast country, equipping them, transporting them to training centers and from there to the front. The invasion of Ukraine, however, brought to light the significant logistical difficulties facing the Russian military. Analysts believe that these deficiencies were one of the causes of the problems faced by Russian soldiers at the beginning of the war.
