Army General Sergey Surovikin, also known as “General Armageddon” (on the cover image), who has been heading up the ‘South’ grouping of troops in Ukraine and Donbass, will assume overall command of Russian forces, the Defense Ministry announced on Saturday.
“By the decision of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Army General Sergey Surovikin was appointed commander of the joint grouping of the forces in the area of the special military operation,” the ministry’s statement read.
This appointment comes after three events of enormous importance in the military operation launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin to defend Donbass after 8 years of civil war triggered by the NATO coup in 2014.
The first is the ratification of the annexation of the Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, approved by the Duma of the Russian Federation after local referendums among the population and ratified by Putin’s signature.
The second is the signing of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zlensky on an official declaration that rejects any attempt at mediation for peace, rejecting any compromise requested by the Kremlin.
The third are the attacks on the Kerch bridge, which connects Crimea to Russia, and on a train in the Donbass, for which suspicions have fallen on the intelligence of Kieve supported by NATO 007 given the exultation expressed by various politicians and Ukrainian officers for alleged terrorist sabotage.
The veteran general has held the position of commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces since 2017. The same year, he was awarded the title of Hero of Russia for his role in the military operation in Syria. Before that, he also took part in hostilities in Chechnya.
«According to various media reports, Surovikin was given the nickname ‘General Armageddon’ by his colleagues, citing his hardline and unorthodox approach to military operations» Russia Today reported.
Surovikin took charge of the ‘South’ grouping during Moscow’s military campaign in Ukraine. In late June, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed that his troops had eliminated a major Ukrainian force encircled in the area of Gorskoye, in the Lugansk People’s Republic.
The new appointment comes as last week Russian and allied troops withdrew from the key town of Krasny Liman in the Donetsk People’s Republic to avoid encirclement. The move sparked criticism from a few Russian officials, who rebuked the military for not having organized more solid defenses.

Boy, I would not want to have to explain myself in front of him. I have a feeling he doesn’t stand for any BS.
I no longer consider this site a legitimate but a degenerate arm of Israel. The US is the most war whore of Jewish power since the beginning with Alexander Hamilton selling the US to private banking corporations with the US being nothing more than a corporation that in 1933 went into receivership with in 1871, 1 governor and now 12 with the fed and always killed the innocent from the beginning that the statement “Treason from within” is the defacto status of a country that always kill for profit and the financial system with the most evil pathetic creators of the most painful ways to die in mass murder in the ABC wars that even Smedley Butler was a major understatement. Destroy all of the war memorials as every war the US has fought was factually wrong and wildly illegal. The US is in receivership to the jewish bankers since 1933 and the banking holiday. Read the statement from the congressional record from James Traficant. My you all rot in hell
Degenerate Arm of Israel? Feel free to disagree with stories and opinions. That’s legit and fair. But “Arm of Israel”? Well, that doesn’t fly. In fact, our criticism of Israeli Policy is well known. So much so that WIKI lists us as officially “anti-semite” just because we hold Israel to the fire so hard. They confuse critic with Anti-Semitism. But that’s another story that we will be addressing very soon in a public post. No matter, if you want to know who funds us, just read ours ABOUT US page where we will clearly outline our ownership, sponsors, advertisers, etc…in full transparency.
