Dvornikov has also been the commander of his district the longest, since 2016, and the Donbas is a priority for that district. This also makes sense because the focus of Russia's operation is now on S/SE Ukraine, which has been the Southern Military District's responsibility. 2/

I think the Western official is wrong to focus on Dvornikov's time in Syria. All of the district commanders commanded Russian forces in Syria, and Zhuravlyov and Chayko both commanded forces there twice and have more experience in Syria. 3/

The BBC reports that the Southern Military District will now be in charge of the operation in Ukraine. This makes sense for a few reasons: 1) its commander, Army General Alexander Dvornikov, outranks the other district commanders who are Colonel-Generals.

I believe this is the third Russian Air Force aircraft lost in 2022 not due to the war in Ukraine. A MiG-31 rolled off the runway in January. 2/

#Ukraine: A 152mm 2S19 Msta-S SPG of the Russian Army was captured by Ukrainian forces. The video is from today, but we are unsure precisely where/when it was left behind.

@KofmanMichael:
The question is what will the command structure look like. Will Dvornikov be coordinating it from the district’s joint strategic command? Is it staffed to manage an operation of this size with a significant part staged from Western MD? Or will they create a new command layer? https://t.co/9VZNniywJp
