Some high-ranking Russian military were fired or removed from the military command due to failures on the Ukrainian frontannounced the British Ministry of Defense in its systematic update.
According to the information of the Ministry of Defense, the commander of the 1st Army of tanks, lieutenant general Sergei Kisel removed because he failed to occupy Kharkov. The commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Igor Osipov, left for the destruction of the “Moscow” flagship (mentioned in the announcement of the British Ministry as an admiral).
The Chief of the General Staff, General Valery Gerasimov remains in place, but it is unknown if it continues to rejoice in Putin’s confidence. According to the British Ministry of Defense, “the culture of silencing and searching for scapegoats” is widespread within the Russian armed forces and security services.
“Many officials involved in the invasion of Ukraine will increasingly avoid taking personal responsibility for immediate failures. “This will create an additional burden for the centralized model of administration and control, as officers will increasingly seek to delegate decisions to leadership,” the statement said.

Earlier, Ukrainian intelligence services and Russian investigative journalists reported the resignations and arrests of top Russian military and intelligence officials. This information was not confirmed by official sources. In times of war the parties involved tend to transmit information that falls within the field of misinformation about the adversary, which can not be verified directly by independent sources.
