Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed a new Army General Alexander Dvornikov, commander of Russia`s Southern Military District, to lead the war in Ukraine as Moscow`s military failed to capture Kyiv.
Dvornikov has been named theatre commander of Russia`s military campaign in Ukraine.
There is speculation that Russia`s general has a goal of representing Putin with some battlefield progress ahead of the `Victory Day` on May 9, CNN reported on Sunday citing Military analysts and US officials familiar with intelligence assessments.
May 9 `Victory Day` is the most significant day in Russia as it marks the anniversary of the Soviet Union`s triumph over Germany in the Second World War.
The European official described the "Victory Day` as a "self-imposed deadline," and added that it could lead the Russians to make additional mistakes or potentially can lead Russian forces to commit more atrocities, as allegedly happened in the Bucha.
