Panicked Putin REPLACES ‘General Armageddon’ over Ukraine disaster as Russian MP warns Vlad will be killed by October
RUSSIAN despot Vladimir Putin has demoted his top general over his failure in Ukraine.
Mad Vlad and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu replaced Sergei Shurovikin, nicknamed 'General Armageddon' after a series of humiliations for Russian troops on the battlefield.
He has been dumped just three months after his initial appointment at the head of the invasion force in favour of Valery Gerasimov.
Gerasimov, a highly decorated general in the Russian Army, has been appointed to the post of Commander of the Joint Group of Troops (Forces), with Shurovikin named as one of his deputies.
According to reports, Ukraine even made an attempt on Gerasimov's life in April last year, despite warnings from US officials.
One senior source told the that the US told Ukraine not to go through with the attack as it risked further escalation of the conflict.

However, the Ukrainians replied that they had already launched the strike, which killed dozens but failed to eliminate the senior general.
The move comes as exiled Russian MP Iya Ponomarev said that tyrannical Vlad won't live to see 2024 and will be killed over the failure of his brutal invasion.
The Sun Online revealed as far back as October that Putin faces being killed before seeing in his 71st birthday.
The dictator himself is reportedly terrified of the possibility that he could be ousted and then killed - being obsessed with what happened to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in 2011

Ponomarev told : "My personal dream obviously is to see [Putin] in The Hague but I don't think that he will make it
"Those around him will not allow him to go to the Hague, because his testimony may actually be very harmful for them... he will be killed."
Ukrainian spy chief Kyrylo Budanov agreed that the Kremlin boss has limited time left, claiming that the sickly warmonger is riddled with cancer that will soon claim his life.
The military reshuffle follows 'General Armageddon' unleashing a wave of brutal carpet-bombing on major Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv.
Shurovikin famously used carpet bombing, which is a war crime when aimed at areas containing civilians, in Syria while supporting Putin's fellow dictator and close chum Bashar Al-Assad.
The Kremlin crony even allegedly helped pay for a giant palace built for Putin, complete with a lap dancing den, casino and tunnel leading to a private beach, using his "blood-soaked" millions.
