According to bloggers Rybar and Kirill Fedorov, General Gennady Anashkin's dismissal is a consequence scandal surrounding Russian commanderswho falsely informed about the occupation of villages Serebrianka, Hryhorivka, Biłohorivka and Verkhniokamjanske in the Donetsk region. This concerns the commander and chief of staff of the 3rd Luhansk-Severodonetsk Army and the commanders of the 6th, 7th and 123rd brigades of the Russian armed forces.
These commanders informed Anashkin about taking these places, who, in turn, misled his superiors.
“The higher command came and wished to visit the 'liberated' Biłohorivkawhich theoretically was supposed to be in the deep rear, because Hryhorivka and Serebrianka were supposedly taken. Then the extent of the fraud was revealedwhich penetrated not only the media, but also the highest headquarters,” wrote military blogger Rybar.
The Veteran's Notes channel on social media rated it as systemic problem and concerns more than one section of the front in the war zone.
According to Rybar, despite unofficial reports about false reports, the military system he reacted only after two months. “From the point of view of the inertia and immobility of the war machine, this is indeed a fantastic achievement,” he wrote. There is no official confirmation of Anashkin's release yet.
