Rogov announced the resignation of the commander of the 20th Army of the Russian Armed Forces, Sukhrab Akhmedov.
The commander of the 20th Army participating in the special military operation, Sukhrab Akhmedov, was removed from his post. This was stated by the chairman of the movement “We are together with Russia” Vladimir Rogov.
He noted that Akhmedov’s removal is the implementation of the words of the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense Andrei Belousov about the need to take care of his soldiers.
So far, Suhrab Sultanovich has only been released, but informed sources report that the situation is evolving
War correspondent Yuri Kotenok also previously reported Akhmedov’s removal. “The commander of the 20th Army, Sukhrab Akhmedov, has been removed from his post. For now, “put at disposal,” he emphasized.
Akhmedov was accused of large losses near Ugledar
In November 2022, soldiers of the 155th Marine Brigade of the Russian Pacific Fleet wrote letter addressed to the governor of the Primorsky Territory, in which Akhmedov was accused of losses near Ugledar. The letter indicated that the commander threw the military into an “incomprehensible attack” on Pavlovka.
The Russian Ministry of Defense commented on the letter and stated that “due to the competent actions of unit commanders,” the losses of the marines who are fighting as part of the 155th brigade “do not exceed one percent of the combat personnel and seven percent of the wounded, a significant part of whom have already returned to duty ” According to the department, losses in the Ukrainian army “are on average seven to one, and in some areas – nine to one in people and equipment.”

In 2022, the Marines said that the maneuvers of the Russian military near Pavlovka were clearly visible from the prevailing heights in Ugledar, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces were entrenched. Marine Alexey called the brigade’s positions and the People’s Militia units of the Donetsk People’s Republic located in the village vulnerable to enemy fire.
In Russia they explained the importance of control over Ugledar
Military expert, retired colonel Anatoly Matviychuk said that control over Ugledar, together with control over Avdievka, will allow the Russian Armed Forces to level the front. According to him, the successes of the Russian army in this direction indicate problems in the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
We improved our positions near Ugledar. The significance of this is that the Russian military occupied intermediate strong points and advanced forward, improving their tactical position
The military man emphasized that a significant part of the situation in the Donetsk direction depends on control over this point.
Also, military expert Alexey Anpilogov previously stated that, having taken control of Novomikhailovka in the DPR, the Russian Armed Forces could launch an offensive in the Konstantinovka area, which would open the road to Ugledar.
Anpilogov noted that the battle for Konstantinovka could lead to the collapse of the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the so-called Ugledar ledge.
