Fukyouov…. Putin sacks chief of Russia’s land forces Vladimir Putin has sacked the chief of Russia’s military land forces, General Oleg Salyukov, according to a decree published by the Kremlin. It comes just one week after Salyukov, 70, led Russia’s Victory Day military parade on May 9 in Moscow. It is the latest removal of a high-profile figure from Russia’s military establishment amid its offensive on Ukraine. Salyukov, who took up his post in 2014, will now work as a deputy to ex-defence minister Sergei Shoigu, who was removed from his post last year and made Secretary of the Security Council Mr Shoigu was sacked in May last year in part due to Russia’s inability to take Ukraine in the early days of Putin’s invasion, when soldiers were being sent into battle with inadequate training and defective weapons. The decision came as officials from both Russia and Ukraine gathered for talks in Istanbul. Putin sent a low-level delegation, while Volodymyr Zelensky opted to send his defence minister after the Russian president failed to show.
