Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday replaced key commanders of the groupings of Russian troops operating in Ukraine. According to available information, this is a response to the unfulfilled task of quickly conquering the entire industrial Donbas region. hnonline.sk ↗
The personnel changes concern both the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and the commanders responsible for operations on the Ukrainian front. Their cause is said to be the Kremlin's continuing dissatisfaction with the pace of advance of Russian units in the Donetsk basin, which remains one of the main goals of the Russian military campaign. forum24.cz ↗
According to media reports, the replacement of commanders is linked to the fact that, despite the pressure, Russian forces have failed to quickly seize the whole of Donbas. This region holds strategic and political significance for Moscow, since its capture is among the long-declared goals of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
The changes in command suggest that the Russian leadership is trying to adjust the management of operations in Ukraine and speed up the advance in an area where fighting has been concentrated for a long period. Further developments will show whether the replacement of commanders brings a change in the pace of Russian operations in Donbas. aktuality.sk ↗
