US EditionPutin Sacks Chief of Military's Land Forces
- On May 15, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed General Oleg Salyukov as chief of the land forces, assigning him as deputy to Sergei Shoigu.
- This removal follows a series of high-profile military leadership changes and law enforcement actions linked to unsatisfactory military progress in Ukraine since 2024.
- Since 2014, Salyukov has led Russia’s ground troops, managing their engagements in both the Syrian civil war and the prolonged conflict in Ukraine that has caused tens of thousands of casualties.
- The Kremlin denied that Salyukov's sacking and related official arrests constitute a military purge despite speculation about Moscow’s frustration with war setbacks.
- This personnel shift signals continuing Kremlin adjustments amid the protracted conflict and may reflect efforts to optimize military leadership while managing internal challenges.
