Russia removes general in charge of Syrian operations, military bloggers say

The Hindu  

Russian war bloggers reported on Sunday that Moscow has dismissed Sergei Kisel, the general in charge of its forces in Syria after insurgents swept into the city of Aleppo in the biggest challenge to President Bashar al-Assad in years. The military blogs were scathing about the performance of Kisel, who previously commanded Russia's 1st Guards Tank Army in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, where Moscow's forces were driven back in a lightning counter-attack by Ukrainian troops in late 2022. Rybar speculated that Russia might even turn to Sergei Surovikin, a general who earned the nickname "General Armageddon" for his ruthlessness in Syria and was briefly in charge of the Ukrainian war effort. Surovikin was demoted last year when unconfirmed reports said he had been investigated for possible complicity in a mutiny by Russia's Wagner mercenary group.
