Russia's top general, Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov, was shown ordering subordinates to destroy Ukrainian missile sites in a video released on Monday, his first appearance in public since a failed June 24 mercenary mutiny.
The defence ministry said the footage showed Gerasimov at a meeting on Sunday. It described him as chief of the general staff of Russia's armed forces and commander of Moscow's forces in Ukraine, the positions he held before the mutiny.
Putin said the mutiny by Wagner mercenaries was treason, compared it to the turmoil in the run-up to the 1917 Russian Revolution and praised loyal troops for averting what he said could have been a civil war. For months before the mutiny, Prigozhin had been openly insulting them, using a variety of crude expletives and prison slang that shocked top Russian officials, but which was left unanswered in public by Putin, Shoigu and Gerasimov.
