Ukraine war: Putin arrests Russian General Roman Gavrilo

On Thursday, Putin reportedly arrested one of Moscow’s top military commanders: General Roman Gavrilov, deputy head of the Russian National Guard.

The arrest has not yet been officially confirmed. Russian television reports that the general has been fired.

In a speech to his government on Wednesday, Putin justified the war in Ukraine and slammed “traitors.”

“Any people, especially the Russian people, can always identify traitors and traitors and spit on them like one spits a fly in his mouth. I hope that the real and necessary self-purification of society will strengthen our country,” the Kremlin dictator said in a televised speech.

On Thursday, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov echoed Putin’s rhetoric justifying the attack on Ukraine. He also said that military action would help Russia to “clean up” the “traitors.” “In situations like this, many people become traitors and leave our lives of their own free will,” Peskov said Thursday.

“This is a cleansing. Others are violating the law and will be punished according to the law,” he added. “Many Russians have fled their homes since the start of the military operation three weeks ago.
