Colonel-General Alexander Chaiko, commander of Moscow’s Eastern Military District, has been removed in the latest top brass reshuffle, Russian news site RBC reported.
The Eastern Military District covers troops based in Russia’s the Far East, though much of its strength is currently deployed in Ukraine.
He is believed to have been replaced by Lieutenant-General Rustam Muradov, a senior officer who has already been sanctioned by the EU.
