Russia's most senior general, Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov, was shown ordering subordinates to destroy Ukrainian missile sites in a video released on July 10, in what would be his first appearance in public since a failed June 24 Wagner mercenary mutiny. The Defense Ministry video, reportedly shot on July 9, showed Gerasimov sitting in a military command room on a white leather seat chairing a meeting with top generals, some on a video call. He was shown giving orders, including to Russia's powerful military intelligence service, the GRU. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
