Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday dismissed General Oleg Salyukov, head of the military’s land forces, according to a Kremlin decree, marking the latest high-profile shake-up in Russia’s military leadership amid its ongoing offensive in Ukraine.

Salyukov, 70, will now work as a deputy to ex-defence minister Sergei Shoigu, who was removed from his post last year and made Secretary of the Security Council.
