\nGeneral Aleksandr Dvornikov<\/em><\/p>\n

After failing to capture the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, Russia has put General Aleksandr Dvornikov in charge of its invasion in Ukraine as Moscow\u2019s forces regroup.<\/p>\n

Prior to Dvornikov\u2019s appointment, no central commander was directing Russian forces on the ground in Ukraine, stated U.S. officials.<\/p>\n

He is a Russian Ground Forces Colonel General and Hero of the Russian Federation. He commanded the Russian Armed Forces in Syria at the beginning of the Russian military intervention there.<\/p>\n

\u201cDvornikov is known as a ruthless commander and will deploy tactics used in Syria now in Ukraine. He was in Chechnya 20 years ago. It is about liberating cities by reducing them to rubble,\u201d cited a military analyst from Moscow.<\/p>\n

WH says they know what to expect in Ukraine based on Putin’s choice of new general<\/h3>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s reported appointment of a new general known as the “Butcher of Syria” to oversee the invasion of Ukraine is a choice that shows the Biden administration exactly what to expect as Moscow\u2019s bloody aggression continues, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Sunday.<\/p>\n

Gen. Alexander Dvornikov, commander of Russia\u2019s southern military district (SMD), was reported to be Putin\u2019s pick as the new commander to lead operations in Ukraine. U.S. officials have said the 60-year-old general has a record of brutality against civilians in Syria and other theaters of war.<\/p>\n

Psaki appeared on “Fox News Sunday” and addressed what the reported appointment of Dvornikov could mean as global concerns grow over the bloodshed in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“The reports we are seeing of a change in military leadership and putting a general in charge who is responsible for the brutality and atrocities we saw in Syria shows there\u2019s going to be a continuation of what we\u2019ve seen on the ground in Ukraine and that is what we are expecting,” Psaki said.<\/p>\n

Dvornikov gained prominence as head of Russian forces that Moscow deployed to Syria in 2015 to shore up President Bashar Assad\u2019s regime amid the country’s devastating civil war.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So now <\/strong>the White House denizens know what to expect from Putin and his new commander. It’s not like he’s showing his hand by massing toops on the Ukrainian border and ignoring threats of sanctions. \/sarc<\/p>\n

Wait, yes he is. Now with a commander seasoned in crushing a civilian population.<\/p>\n
