Commander of the Joint Forces Operation 'Donetsk' Lysenko Dismissed: It Is Known Who Will Replace Him.


According to information from the Financial Times, Oleksandr Tarnavskyi has been appointed as the commander of the Joint Forces Operation 'Donetsk' following the dismissal of Oleksandr Lysenko. Russian troops continue their offensive towards Pokrovsk.
An unnamed source reported that after the insult, Oleksandr Lysenko received a new position in the Ground Forces.
According to the source, the Ukrainian forces led by Lysenko failed to repel the large-scale offensive of the Russian troops.
Oleksandr Tarnavskyi is a 54-year-old brigadier general who commanded the Operational Command 'Tavriya' until June 2023. In 2023, he led the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the Orikhiv area. Tarnavskyi has been awarded the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi and the Order of Danylo Halytskyi.
Recall that the 'Deep State' project reported on the removal of Lysenko from his position and his transfer to the command of the Ground Forces. Analysts assert that the enemy is attempting to break through in the areas of the settlements of Yelizavetivka, Romanyivka, Veselyi Hai, Hanniivka, but there are villages that are holding them back. The situation is critical, except for Lysenko, who has already been dismissed from his post. This information is standard for the new commander.
