Russian general Ivan Popov claimed he had been dismissed as a commander after saying soldiers had been stabbed in the back by the failings of the top military brass.

Major General Ivan Popov commanded the 58th Combined Arms Army fighting in Ukraine’s southern Zaporizhzhia region – a focal point in Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
