In an audio recording that has since gone viral on social media, Major General Ivan Popov expressed his frustration, stating, &#8220;Our army was not broken through the front, but our most senior commander hit us in the back, thus treacherously beheading the army in the most difficult period.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This incident is just the latest example of the internal divisions within Russian power centers. It comes only weeks after the dramatic uprising led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the CEO of the Wagner Group, against senior defense leaders. Popov&#8217;s remarks appear to be directed at General Valery Gerasimov and highlight the ongoing political infighting within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/british-deep-stater-angered-that-pro-brexit-le-pen-wants-defence-alliance-with-uk\/\" title=\"British Deep Stater Angered that Pro-Brexit Le Pen Wants Defence Alliance with UK\">military command structure<\/a>, which has also suffered the loss of senior generals in the conflict with Ukraine.<\/p>\n<h3>Revealing the Problems in the Army<\/h3>\n<p>Popov, in the audio recording, detailed the various issues plaguing the army, including operational and supply problems. He believes that his candidness led to his dismissal, as he explains, &#8220;Due to this, the seniors likely felt some danger in me and instantly, in one day, put together an order to the Minister of Defense and got rid of me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, this audio emerged just days after General Gerasimov made his first public appearance since the Prigozhin uprising.

Lieutenant General Oleg Tsokov was killed on Monday, with Ukrainian officials confirming his death. Additionally, submarine commander Stanislav Rzhitsky was shot dead while jogging in Krasnodar. The circumstances surrounding his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-chaos-around-kabul-airport-leaves-toddler-trampled-to-death\/\" title=\"Report: Chaos Around Kabul Airport Leaves Toddler Trampled To Death\">death remain unclear<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These deaths add to the growing number of Russian generals who have lost their lives. Intelligence agencies from Japan and NATO estimate that the toll may exceed 20.<\/p>\n<h3>A Closed-Door Confrontation<\/h3>\n<p>Popov, who was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-push-pentagon-for-answers-on-possible-civilian-casualty-in-may-drone-strike\/\" title=\"Democrats demand Pentagon's explanation on potential civilian casualties from May drone strike.\">overseeing military operations<\/a> in Zaporizhzhia, a region that Russia aims to seize from Ukraine, has been vocal about the realities of the war. The audio attributed to him was made public by a former MP who previously commanded the same army. It suggests a behind-the-scenes clash over Popov&#8217;s refusal to sugarcoat the state of the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I pointed the attention to the most important tragedy of the modern war \u2014 the lack of counterbattery fire, lack of artillery reconnaissance stations, and mass casualties and injuries of our brothers from enemy artillery,&#8221; Popov stated. &#8220;I also raised a number of other issues, expressed them to the highest levels, did it openly and very brutally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rfk-jr-says-hes-aware-of-possibility-cia-could-assassinate-him\/\" title=\"RFK Jr. acknowledges CIA's potential to assassinate him.\">revelations shed light<\/a> on the challenges faced by the Russian army and the internal struggles within its ranks.
