Moscow’s military leadership has reportedly dismissed Major-General Ivan Popov, commander-in-chief of Russia’s 58th Combined Arms Army stationed in southern Ukraine, over his concerns for troops fighting without rest and criticism of Russian battlefield strategy.
Popov addressed soldiers in a voice message that was circulated on the Telegram messaging app on Wednesday saying he had been relieved of his post for criticising Russia’s military inefficiencies in Ukraine.
Journalist Yulia Shapvalova joins us live from Moscow to discuss the latest updates.

Popov has indeed popoved! Bad mouthing the russian comnd? Not a career move. Join the Ukranian army!
well done Russia,just yesterday alone Russia butchered 758 ukraine militants,shot down 6 Nato helicopters and since so called counter-offensive began in June 28 000 ukraine militants killed and almost all Nato supplied weapons destroyed by Russia hence comic zelensky and mentally retarded biden now desperately resort to banned cluster boms.
what was the figure for armour again? 1244? 😂😂😂russian numbers are so funny
because putin cannot accept reality.
Moscow Mustgo
Very controlled and managed reporting.
Knowledge is everything in the world, do not punish the knowledge bringer, you need and want to know everything especially for free. We encourage having access to relevant minds and knowledge. Welcome it and we put the knowledge in a think tank. But knowledge is very expensive and we will not discourage the free donation of it or run a campaign operation of military on somebody unpleasant thoughts. Send him back to work, whether he like or not, if it doesn’t require that he does. Tuff skin to take out the sting and use what useful that’s left. Only a above average thinker can do so and that what a military genius in my opinion should reflect. It’s like a body, ifthe stomach causes uncomfort it’s because of a problem in the stomach. As long as it is related to the stomach not the mind or the eye the stomach is in all rights
Knowledge is nothing in ruzzian world. Slaves must be submissive.
11 jan 2023, Gerasimov replaces Prigozhyn buddy, Surovikin, as commander in chief of Russian military. 24 June 2023 Prigozhyn marches on Moscow, demanding replacement of minister of defense, Shoigu and Gerasimov. 24 June Prigozyn shoots down Russian helicopters. 24 June 2023 Prigozhyn stops march, 200km south of Moscow. 24 June 2023 Prigozhyn accused of treason by Putin. 29 June 2023 Surovikin reported ‘detained’. 7 July 2023, Russian state media shows video of raid on Prigozyn’s home finding weapons and at least tens of millions of USD. Following the raid it is reported that ‘days after 24 June’, Prigozhyn had held a meeting with Putin and had all the money found in the raid returned to him. 8 July 2023, Gerasimov, reported to have been replaced as commander of forces in Ukraine by Prigozhyn buddy, Teplinsky. 12 July 2023, Prigozhyn buddy, Popov, reports he was sacked by Gerasimov. 12 july 2023, Surovikin reported to be resting.
He wasn’t dismissed, he resigned, you Arabic donkey riders.
Lol cute paki but you are quite low so maybe watch yourself
not what he said.
Soon there won’t be any Russians left. I can’t believe the idiocy of Russians. They have zero courage.🇺🇦💪🇺🇸
Good. I’m not complaining. To put it in the words of Napoleon, “Never interfere with your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
@home ground Nice try, troll. Yeah, except that the counter-offensive is not failing. In fact Ukraine has taken back as much territory in the month of the counter-offensive as Russia picked up in the last 6 months.
@home groundto be fair, the total income of Russia is much lower then any of the big countries in NATO. So winning against those countries is impossible for Russia when Russia was at it strongest… Which they are not.
This isn’t a fantasy novel. Russia won’t be able to conquer ukriane. Maybe they will grab a little land if Ukraine allows it.
дак вы все равно ничего не понимаете)))
Как закончил свою жизнь Наполеон? 😊
@2greenify in a way where nato treated this more significantly. Sure. There is a ton of stuff nato could send which it doesn’t. It should have been preparing for this a year ago.
All them generals really want to end this war really quick but Putin wants to take things really slow b
Sure bro
@Osama Bin Ballin putina says we’re done when i say we’re done
Farted at 1:23?
So Popov, has popped orf.
All that rumors and proganda came from the west and NATO propagandist to mislead the people.
He is just resting in peace..
Pieces.
Emily Angwin…❤❤❤
Most beautiful News Anchor in the world…❤❤❤
Rightly so too..he should have been imprisoned if not shot. You cannot in the middle of a war turn against your own country
Russian political and army leader s are absolutely dreadful……one can only hope there inept leadership can bring the house rotten cards down…..even if they won this dreadful war by some miracle…… they will still be a pirah to free world…..and India will be told soon to choose a side or join Rasputin Russia pirah status
“What’s going on inside the Russian military, why has there been so much instability?”
Why is it getting dark in the evening? And why does water flow downhill and not uphill? These are some serious questions!
There is no instability in the Russian military. You should search about the U.S. military instead. The theory of chaos…
The Russian military is one big joke😂
You have not search in this case 😅
Rip Russia🎉
Russian army has the most mediocre army tactics in the world. Simply, because are stuck in the cold war.
GoodEvening
Thanks for shorts in news AJ
It still makes 0 difference, we have seen it before, the ones that come after the dismissed general are usually as incompetent. Maybe the problem is their Soviet style ww2 training which they all share from top to bottom. Anyways.
Office skill set is usually based on loyalty bot competence
That’s just a reflection of Russian society in general.
Russia: you tell lies, you get promoted…. you tell the truth, you get removed…. no wonder, the Russian army is a mess…
Damm generals dying left and right and mow this 💀
He can change as many general as he wanted he lost the war before he enter Ukraine rusion army know that the is noreasn to be there
Hi putin peace no war we love you hallelujah
I just love it when the Orchs are messing up their own lifes!🤣🤣🤣🤣
To go to war you must have a reason not ideology?
Change of command of Generals in peace and war is a normal occurance
😂😂😂 yeah but when you 235k dead soldiers in the hole it doesn’t speak well to anyone in the Russian mod.
@Joaquin546 235k dead is 60% of UA losses. RA losses are a tenth of that.
@Sukhminder Parhar 🤣🤣🤣 sure sure comrade I’ll wait for you get a source on that! Rt doesn’t count
@Joaquin546 Look ip your very own American Colonels McGregor, Ritter, CIA analysts and other mil analysts. Look ip statements of Zelensky on his looses.
yeah, clearly his words line up perfectly with the russian 1/20 casualty ratio lolololol
Your future fate 🤔🤔🤔
I’m A Kiwi starting a export business for Ukrainian Soil and at the present rate of blood and bone I have 30 meters deep in good Blood Black Loam the size of Ukraine at NZ$130 a ton.
Yes we specialize in De-Mining to a Depth of 30 meters or sea lever which ever comes first. This is a Russian Backed Business and “We are taking Forward Orders Now!”
Should stop telling Russia had bad they are doing. We want them to do bad. Let Putin think everything is going well.
If Popov can’t get a gig in Russia, I hear the Ukrainian military is recruiting….hahaha
Is this guy due to go running or soon visit a high rise hospital by any chance?
2 years, 24 hours Ukraina Ukraina. Seems like humans solved others problems on the planet? Even Covid stops the day when ukraine war starts
russia 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
Wasn’t his grandfather a hero of the USSR in WWII? That family has some juice over there. I guess Putin will have to follow Stalin and kill all the Generals and Marshalls.
Good to know there are still competent and informed generals in the Russia Army. And we’re lucky they’re getting pushed out one by one.
We Turks will always support Russia Inshallah they will win 👍👍
erdogan has already picked his side, maybe it’s time to change opinion 😂
Civil war in russia coming soon
“One Polonium burger to go…”
Traitors should have no country
I guess the generals glad that he got dismissed. At least you won’t get killed.
Russian ideology is the most perverse and satanic in Ukraine they kill children, rape women, bomb schools,hospitals, nurseries, it is a genocide, they are a cursed plague for the peoples
And this is how the end starts…. The professional officer corps (the ones that know how to fight, not the boot-licking toadies) and the Kremlin will blame the top brass. A few generals/ministers will have accidents, the respected military officers and Putin will blame them for incompetence and graft. Russia leaves Ukraine, claiming they’d have had victory except for incompetent military leadership, whom every milblogger in Russia hates now anyway, and blaming NATO. Maybe the oligarchs let Putin stay, depending on how their hidden offshore bank accounts are doing. But Prigozhin’s ‘mutiny’ let every oligarch in Russia know that Putin’s invincibility is smoke and mirrors. Maybe Putin ‘retires’ off to St. Petersburg. But the war, IMHO, will be over this time next year.
i’d have thought “no way they could pull out peacefully” until the rebellion, witnessing how quickly russia could return to status quo like nothing happened makes me believe they could cull their military command and pull out tomorrow with zero trouble internally.
that is a huge relief to him and his
There are two types of militaries in every country around the world and that is a wartime military and then you have a peacetime military in times of War you have to get rid of your peacetime Generals in the most highest positions because they are incapable of fighting war. In times of War you need your War Dogs, it is a natural transition, It always happens it’s normal nothing to worry about
Telling the truth in russia , will not win you ANY friends !!! Russia is build on a lie !!!
May be he kill during wargna attaque
Becos 6 helicoptre was shot dawon
That day
Qua cambiano generali come caramelle. I soldati quando si alzano la mattina hanno delle certezze: essere mandati al massacro ogni giorno da una voce diversa, in maniera diversa, e ad ogni cambiamento, sempre più certi di essere mandati a morte certa.
How much more can the generals take with this idiot commanding the Russian army.
Scapegoat No.101
World look back on history and remember those brutal dictators who thought they were better than the generals then go on to lose wars..And lead their nations over the cliffs of destruction..Caused by one Satan…😳
Resting no, at rest yes ⚰️🤣. ✌🏻🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇸✌🏻
Popov, another mutiny?
Group think leads to failure and this is evident in the Russian military. They do not allow or listen to diverse opinions or strategies and this will lead to their eventually defeat in Ukraine.
The truth thing about this war is that Russia will become again the strongest army in the world
@Lmao. I appreciate your opinion on this, but looks like you’re very poor informed or maybe said, too much disinformation you have because of watching not the right news The official news from the TV are not the right ones.
😂😂😂😂 they never were in the first place, they could claim 2nd place for a time, not even that anymore
@Rafael Lana that’s why Russia is the only country that gained more and more territories overtime in the history
What do you know about history?
If you don’t know, I can recommend you some books that also kids from 12 years start to read them
@I’m your teacher only country? USA, Brasil, China for example never lost any big chunk of territory, only gaining. Russia lost several times pieces of itself. Stop reading propaganda, doesn’t do you any favors. But judging from your other comments seems to be your job 😂 trade those notes into bitcoin or dollar and thank me later
@Rafael Lana I’m feeling bad about you that you are not very well informed and too much propaganda you watch.
Based on your thoughts, I think your IQ is very low
No worries don’t be mad. I understand that the truth it’s a pain all the time, but this have to be fair.
We cannot compare Brazil because it’s a very poor country, and China is just formed by provinces.
Keep calm and enjoy the day doesn’t make any sense to talk about history if you don’t know nothing about it .
Change your channel or buy a new TV
So funny to see two women talking about military war strategies 2:41
They’re a lot smarter than you in case you don’t know.
@IceieJest you just answered to my comment like 10 years old upset girl
You too ladies that are reporting this are American,, so there for your not going to speak in Russia’s favour when you are in conflict with Russia over Ukraine Mr Putin is very much in control of what is going on🇷🇺❤🇷🇺❤🇷🇺❤🇷🇺❤🇷🇺❤🇷🇺❤🇷🇺❤🇷🇺❤🇷🇺❤🇷🇺❤🇷🇺❤🇷🇺❤🇷🇺❤
🎉
clown army
When Wagner and its leader go on to tell the Russian people the reason for invading Ukraine was a lie and Putin has to make a deal with them not to go to Moscow you know Putin’s is just a front man .
Putin calls them all traitors and none were charged 3 weeks later , there is no hiding that from the people .
The irony of not reporting what the Ukraine army doing to take over what Russian gained territories is astonishing that the west is more focused in the internal conflicts of Russia than the commands of Ukraine army. So my question is why support Ukraine if you are unable to report of their progress? @AlJazeera
moving carefully, hitting mines, moving carefully. it’s going to be a looooong process.
Want to hear Yulia Shapvalova’s reaction, when she is condemned to 9 years in prison for spying.
Enjoy your window flight commie
Left channel audio made me check my speakers a few times
I wonder how many lives on both sides Putin’s ego is worth???!!!
Tell the truth and you either go to prison or lose your job…probably both. And people are okay with this?
💥generał Popov is a hero, the General Staff is anti-Russian⚖️
💥gen Surovikin had been questioned and released⚖️
The this Russian clown Ivan Popov related to the famous Soviet era Oeg Popov?
Wonder what something like this does for moral for troops on the ground.
That general SIROVIKIN has a broken face from the interrogation….he needs time to heal and look ok to appear again….in a few months
There is a particular narrative being pushed here. In times of war, what is the first casualty?
The World can see Putin is running scared. He’s desperate to get rid of the Generals that may overthrow him. Prigozhin’s plan is still working with or without him. Putin likely has a very long hit list to complete before he will feel secure again.
It’s just parr for the course in any Military, There is a chain of command and it must be followed, especially during war time .
What happened to the Ukrainian Commanders that have spoken out against Ukrainian military tactics, or even American commanders that have also spoken out against the American Military tactics in Afghanistan and especially the American pull out of Afghanistan ….they are all in the brig.
This general was on same route as Prigozhin. Orders you do not debate them loudly in the open or anywhere outside the military chain of command. Moscow did the right thing. For all the others that are clueless how the military operates, that’s how it operates: orders you obey, you don’t debate them especially not in public outside military command. And for those that clearly still are brainwashed, its the U.S. that started the war against Russia using as proxy Ukraine, since 2014. This Tv Reporter saying there is “so much instability” in the Russian army clearly is blatantly wrong informed to not say stupid… On what you base your accusations? White House?
Well, isn’t Russia a dictatorship? How dare they? 😳😁🤣😂🤣
If a military general criticizes anything concerning their job, they should be jailed..
Why Russian generals have big bellies?
He better stay away from windows 🪟🤫🤭
That woman in Moscow can’t even tell you the truth, because if she would she would be forced to pay a fine and go to jail. Remember to Russia you better watch what you say big brother is watching
ее расстреляют завтра на рассвете)))
Looking forward to the Russian occupation army defeat. SLAVA UKRAINI 🇺🇦!
While the other russian general was fired in his post with a bullet to the Head.
Generals gets replace all the time nothing new pure rubbish
Dismissed is better than deceased 😊
Putin is doing a GREAT JOB making his army feel uncertain and concerned. Does anyone expect them to ALSO speak against the war? Might as well put one in his own hea.. What do you think he would say if he was outside Russia?
This man was probably a hero. The good men are let go, and the bootlickers are promoted. It is similar in most places, except at the most successful institutions.
Good for Russia
Shapovalova always deflects simple questions.
Why is so much instability in the Russian military?
Well that’s a good question…..then rubbish
To be fair to Putin, it is unprecedented in Russia to have a general dismissed.
Very hard to keep on hiding un treated wound,it keeps on deepening
RAZZIARUZZISTA
Is he fired or just replaced him with someone,remember substitution
Glory to you Ukraine❤❤
