Russia on Monday launched a series of missiles into cities across Ukraine, but Ret. While speaking on CNN, Anderson broke down news that Russian General Sergey Surovikin would be taking over as head of the Kremlin's "special military operation" in Ukraine, which in recent weeks has been hit with multiple humiliating setbacks. While Surovikin has a well earned reputation as a hardliner, Anderson was skeptical he could turn things around given the current state of Russia's military. "I don't think there's going to be a new approach because he's incapable of doing a new approach as long as the Russian army is what it is, which is a terrible army," he said. IN OTHER NEWS: Trump sounded 'guilty and scared' during his latest rally rant: Former federal prosecutor Later in the segment, Anderson elaborated on why new leadership won't be nearly enough to fix what's broken in the Russian military.
