Russian Commander in Syria, Kisel, Removed; Chayko Likely to Replace
Nov 30, 2024, 07:06 PM
Lieutenant General Sergey Kisel, the commander of Russian forces in Syria, has been removed from his post. Reports from Russian media and war bloggers indicate that Kisel was dismissed, with some sources suggesting that Colonel General Alexander Chayko, a former commander of Russia's Eastern Military District who has led Russian forces in Syria multiple times, might take over the position. The reasons for Kisel's removal are not explicitly stated, but some Russian channels are attributing the change to issues with the Syrian military, while others are directing blame at Kisel himself.
