The statement by Major General Ivan Popov, Commander of the 58th Army of the Southern Military District, about his dismissal was not public. About it informed Andrei Turchak, head of the working group on the special operation, Secretary of the General Council of United Russia, noted that the creation of a political show around this statement should remain on the conscience of State Duma deputy Andrei Gurulev, who spread the message.
“The appeal of General Popov was non-public and posted in private chats of the commanders and soldiers of the 58th Army. The fact that the “deputy” Gurulev somehow got it and made a political show out of it, let it remain on his conscience. As well as his other statements and comments. And Ivan’s conscience is clear,” wrote Turchak.
He added that Russia can be proud of such commanders as Popov, and stressed that the army should be out of politics.
Formerly member of the State Duma Defense Committee Andrey Gurulev published in his Telegram channel, Popov’s audio message, in which he talks about his resignation. According to him, at a meeting with senior officials, he frankly “outlined all the problematic issues that exist today in the army.” After that, an order was signed to remove Popov from command of the army, his place was taken by Lieutenant General Denis Lyamin. Now Popov is waiting for new job offers, he added.
