Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly tapping the so-called"Butcher of Syria" to rejuvenate the Kremlin's offensive amid a string of military setbacks in Ukraine.
"There was really poor coordination across those different commands," an official told the outlet."That particular commander has a lot of experience of Russian operations in Syria. So we would expect the overall command and control to improve."His opening act in his new role is believed to have been the strike on Kramatorsk railway station that killed over 52 civilians and wounded over 300, the Daily Mail reported.
Russian airstrikes in Syria had killed roughly 5,703 civilians by 2017, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Other Russian commanders were involved in the vicious intervention in Syria that turned the war around in favor of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Some of them served longer than Dvornikov, but his appointment likely foretells a significant escalation and heightened"terror campaign" in Ukraine, experts caution.
