Alexander Dvornikov, the new commander of the occupying army of Russia, appointed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is called the “Syrian butcher”, did not significantly change anything in the war with Ukraine. The New York Times writes about it..

Western experts noted that Dvornikov managed to slightly streamline the chaos in the command and control of the Russian troops, which led to the obvious complete failure of the first mass offensive of the Russians.. After his intervention, the pilots of the occupying army began to coordinate their actions with the ground forces so that their goals and objectives coincided. Also, Russian units began to discuss common goals with each other..

But Dvornikov failed to change the nature of the Russian army, which still operates on the principle of doctrines, stretching from the time of the Soviet Union..
