in what is the latest rumored dismissal amid his floundering invasion into Ukraine.
Oleksiy Arestovych, a presidential adviser, said in an interview with
Russian dissident lawyer Mark Feygin on Wednesday that “preliminary
information” indicated that Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian
General Staff, had been fired.
The rumors come after reports over the past month that other leaders
of the failed invasion have also been sidelined, including the Commander

Several Russian Army commanders are also rumored to have been
dismissed including Lieutenant General Vladislav Ershov, Lieutenant
General Sergei Kisel, and Major General Arkady Marzoev." NYP
