Several Russian military generals have reportedly been fired and a top spy has been arrested as Russian President Vladimir Putin lashes out amid his stalled invasion of Ukraine.
Putin's reported internal purge comes as at least nine high-ranking military officials and thousands of Russian troops have been killed in combat three weeks into his invasion of Ukraine.Recent reports indicate that Putin is attempting to lay blame for his failure to deliver a swift defeat to Ukraine in part on the FSB's foreign intelligence branch, also known as the Fifth Service, for misleading the autocrat into thinking an invasion of Ukraine would be a walk in the park.
Reports of their arrests came just days after Ukrainian Defense Secretary Oleksiy Danilov claimed on Ukrainian television that eight Russian generals had been fired since the invasion began. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed a much higher figure on Friday, saying in a video statement that over 12,000 Russian service members had been killed on Ukrainian soil since Putin launched his invasion.
Maj. Gen. Andrey Sukhovitsky, the deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army of Russia's Central Military District, was reportedly killed by sniper fire during the first week of the invasion.
