Putin's generals exit stage left

Putin has sacked so many generals there can't be many left to fight his war. I'm not saying he's wrong to get rid of incompetent generals but the fact that the war has been going so wrong is not so much their fault but the fault of the Kremlin bosses who have been trying to micromanage battle strategy from the comfort of their armchairs in Moscow. The generals are being sacked even though the Russians are now making progress in eastern Ukraine. In fact the Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia has now grabbed one fifth of Ukrainian territory, so the generals got something right in the sense that amid all the destruction they have caused they have managed to take control of a fair chunk of ground. But Putin is not satisfied and has fired another five generals because in every other sense the Russian invasion has failed. However long it goes on for Putin will never succeed in fulfilling his priority objective which was to subjugate the whole of Ukraine. That will never happen. But I have no doubt Putin will declare that he has won a famous victory by returning great swathes of Ukraine to their "rightful Russian owners". If he seeks a negotiated deal once the whole of the Donbas region has been pulverised, will Zelensky ever be in a mood to meet Putin? I think not. Meanwhile I'm sure Putin will sack more generals until the cupboard is bare.
