[ロンドン 3日 ロイター] – The Russian government dismissed the commander of the Western Military District Alexander Zlavlev. The news site RBC reported on the 3rd. While the Russian army invaded Ukraine is on the back foot, senior officials are being dismissed one following another.

He was replaced by Lieutenant General Roman Berdnikov.

The Western Military District is one of the five military districts that make up the Russian Armed Forces. Russian forces allowed Ukrainian forces to counterattack in northeast Ukraine last month, and over the weekend they recaptured key Liman in the eastern Donetsk region.

Russia’s Defense Ministry announced last week that it had replaced Deputy Supply Minister Dmitry Bulgakov.
