In April, Russia lost the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet – the “Moskva”. Now, according to British information, the commander has lost his job. And he’s not the only military man who’s been fired.
The commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Igor Ossipov, has been relieved of his post, according to information from the British secret services. This was announced by the British Ministry of Defense on Twitter.
The Black Sea Fleet lost its flagship “Moskva” in mid-April – according to the Ukrainian account, after two rockets were fired at it. In addition, according to British information, the Russian Lieutenant General Sergei Kissel was replaced after unsuccessful attacks in the Kharkiv region. There was no confirmation of this from the Russian side.
Osipov was absent from the military parade
The Ukrainian secret service recently reported on the alleged dismissal of the two high-ranking military officers. It was also noticed that Ossipov was absent from the May 9 military parade marking the 77th anniversary of the end of World War II in Sevastopol on the annexed Black Sea peninsula of Crimea.
British intelligence estimates that many Russian military officials are increasingly preoccupied with denying responsibility for setbacks. “This will likely further increase the pressure on the centralized Russian command structures,” the statement said.
The Russian war of aggression on the neighboring country has been going on since the end of February.
