Putin ‘sacks lying general who FAKED battlefield successes & ordered doomed suicide attacks to curry favour with tyrant’
A senior Russian commander was fired for allegedly lying to Vladimir Putin about his military triumphs and fabricating victories.
The 55-year-old Colonel-General Gennady Anashkin led the Russian military’s southern contingent engaged in combat in eastern Ukraine.
Anashkin lost his job, although the defense ministry of the nation claimed that his dismissal after only six months was part of a prearranged rotation.
The General was fired for deceiving higher leadership and hiding the true state of the conflict, according to insiders who spoke to pro-Putin Telegram channels.
According to The Telegraph, Rybar, one of these Telegram channels, asserted that the commander had allegedly sealed his comrades’ fates in alleged suicide attacks in which hundreds of his men perished for minimal military benefit.
According to reports, Anashkin accomplished this by deploying hundreds of his men to the front lines without the necessary equipment for combat.

According to Military Informant, another channel, the commander also gave false accounts of his victories and defeats.
According to the channel, Siversk started making up stories about purportedly significant and effective achievements only recently.
He is charged with asserting that Russia had captured the frontline villages of Belogorovka, Grigorovka, Serebryanka, Zolotarevka, Verkhnekamenskoye, and Vyemka while they were still in Ukrainian control.
Additionally, he allegedly had a tight relationship with generals who had disapproved of Putin and his high command.
Neither the Kremlin nor the Russian Army have verified his dismissal.
They transferred Anashkin to a military training facility.

The probable removal of Anashkin has drawn acclaim from certain Russian military bloggers who believe it could enhance the army.
Anashkin has a lengthy military history in Russia, having led the country’s peacekeeping force in Nagorno-Karabakh in 2021 and 2022.
For leading airborne units during his nation’s 2008 conflict with Georgia, he was also granted the Hero of Russia award, the highest honor in Russia.
This follows days in which the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has escalated in brutality.
Overnight on Monday, Ukraine launched its first long-range missiles into Russian territory.
On Wednesday, Kyiv also launched British Storm Shadow missiles.
One of these Storm Shadow rockets reportedly killed 500 North Korean soldiers and a Russian general.
The strike was thought to have killed 18 of Putin’s officers, including Lt-Gen Valery Solodchuk.
