"Russian Commanders in Ukraine War Lose Jobs, UK Troops Unlikely to be Sent Amid Tensions"

None of the commanders who led Russia into its full-scale war with Ukraine in 2022 are still in their jobs, according to former UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace. He called for increased Western support for Ukraine and argued that Russia is losing the war. Wallace highlighted significant Russian losses and stated that not a single commander who led major Russian units into Ukraine remains in place. He also noted Ukraine's success in its counteroffensive, with incremental gains being made. The Kremlin has fired or demoted several generals since the invasion, and recent reprisals followed the rebellion by the Wagner mercenary group.
