It is not clear where Serdyukov, who commanded Russian forces in Syria and CSTO forces in Kazakhstan, was moved. It appears the VDV was given command of seizing Kyiv, and he was possibly replaced when that failed. Not clear if Teplinsky will have an operational role. 17/ — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
The VDV's 76th Air Assault Division's commander Major General Sergei Chubarykin was replaced by the 11th Air Assault Brigade's CO Colonel Denis Shishov. Chubarykin was possibly replaced due to the heavy casualties sustained by the division outside Kyiv.18/ https://t.co/XGOqLs4H7t https://t.co/RoKjmq7k1E — PolitiTweet.org

Serdyukov, who commanded Russian forces in Syria and CSTO forces in Kazakhstan, reportedly retired. It appears the VDV was given command of seizing Kyiv, and he was likely relieved when that failed. Not clear if Teplinsky will have an operational role. 17/ https://t.co/C4m7TMs31x — PolitiTweet.org

The CO of the VDV Colonel-General Andrey Serdyukov was replaced by Colonel-General Mikhail Teplinsky who was serving as Chief of Staff of the Central Military District. Teplinsky received the Hero of Russia award for his actions in the 1st Chechen War. 16/ https://t.co/0jdnvgLkjq — PolitiTweet.org

Surovikin was the first ground forces officer to be put in charge of the Russian Aerospace Forces. Indeed, it is somewhat surprising that he wasn't placed in a more operational role in this war sooner. He clearly isn't being blamed for the Russian Air Force's issues. 15/ — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
He also apparently drove a colonel serving under him to commit suicide after a heated reprimand. Surovikin commanded Russian forces in Syria twice and Assad reportedly requested to extend his time in Syria because of his success.14/ https://t.co/xRrYHwudq7 https://t.co/qA4VpGqSkY — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
Surovikin has an interesting background. He was jailed twice: once for allegedly illegally selling guns and for leading a military column during the August 1991 coup that killed three protestors in Moscow. This record was an issue when he was put in charge of military police. 13/ https://t.co/s30swyeEOQ — PolitiTweet.org

Also notable is that Lapin's son is the commander of the 1st Tank Regiment whom he awarded for his performance in Ukraine even though it appears his regiment performed poorly and lost half of its tanks. 12/ https://t.co/QFGxk2PYvH https://t.co/bxdzJiRaVT https://t.co/rX5z45FQmU — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Lee @RALee85
Surovikin is the commander of the Southern grouping but it isn't 100% clear if this means he is now the Southern Military District commander as well (replacing Dvornikov who appears to no longer have a role in Ukraine). He is/was the commander of Russia's Aerospace Forces. 10/ — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
It now appears Zhidko is leading a separate command structure (possibly ad hoc) as the overall commander and the Central and Southern groupings fall under their respective district command structure and staff. 9/ — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
It isn't clear exactly when Russia set up an overall commander for the operation. It was previously reported that Southern Military District (YuVO) CO Alexander Dvornikov was the overall CO, but it wasn't clear if this was a separate command or if YuVO was just the main effort.8/ — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
It seems Western and Eastern district units in Ukraine now fall under the command of Lapin or Surovikin. From what I've heard, Western Military District CO Zhuravlyov and his Chief of Staff were relieved and Eastern Military District CO Chayko is back in Syria (3rd time as CO).7/ https://t.co/sybWDymSUA — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
Given that Russian forces were no longer in Kyiv or Chernihiv and attrition meant Russia had fewer combat capable BTGs, it made sense to reduce the overhead. It also appears that Russia had no overall commander in the initial phase, violating the unity of command principle. 6/ — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
At the beginning, all 4 of Russia's main military districts owned battlespace: -Eastern was NW of Kyiv -Central was Chernihiv -Western was Kharkiv and Sumy -Southern was everything else Once Russia abandoned its efforts in northern Ukraine, they appeared to have consolidated. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
On Friday, the Russian MoD announced that Central Military District Commander Colonel General Lapin was in charge of the Center grouping and Surovikin was the commander of the Southern grouping. It appears these are the only two such groupings. 4/ https://t.co/ncKPfbfe2c https://t.co/ymbUlLUeoG — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
Zhidko previously served as the commander of the Eastern Military District and as Deputy Chief of the General Staff. He also served as the Chief of Staff of Russian forces in Syria in 2016, though I believe he was never the commander unlike most other district commanders. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
During Shoigu's visit today, he sat next to Deputy Defense Minister Gennady Zhidko. This seems to confirm that he is the commander. Zhidko replaced Andrey Kartapolov (now a Duma MP) as head of the MoD's Main Military-Political Directorate in the fall. 2/ https://t.co/1jvTrnD6y5 https://t.co/E16jXdf4XV — PolitiTweet.org
