According to the US, the newly appointed commander of Russia's military campaign in Ukraine is poised to unleash a new round of "crimes and atrocities" against civilians.
The appointment of Alexander Dvornikov as theater commander of Russian forces in Ukraine, according to Jake Sullivan, Washington's national security adviser, could not hide Vladimir Putin's war's strategic failure thus far. "No matter whatever general President Putin appoints, Ukraine will never be enslaved to Russia," he told CNN.
