It seems that the Kremlin is trying to get rid of Russia's most influential General Teplinsky.
The commander of the Russian Airborne Forces, General Mikhail Teplinsky, is very influential and popular among the Russian military.
Recently, the Russian media have resumed a campaign to discredit him.
After Prigozhin's mutiny and his confrontation with Shoigu and Gerasimov, Teplinsky was put under surveillance because of his ambiguous behavior. He could not be removed immediately like Surovikin because he was popular with the troops. So they decided to get rid of him gradually, first of all by destroying his image and support from the army, especially in the Air Forces.
Some sources claim that, for this purpose, a special group was created from among the officers of information counteraction of the Russian Armed Forces. They established a network of channels and groups on social media that create and distribute materials aimed at discrediting Teplinsky.
Teplinsky was also assigned to one of the potentially most difficult areas of the war. At the end of October, he became the head of the Dnepr group of troops, whose area of responsibility includes the occupied Kherson region and part of Zaporizhzhia.
Teplinsky has great ambitions, and he is unsuccessfully trying to eliminate our Ukrainian stronghold at any cost. That is why the Russians are suffering huge losses in equipment and personnel, especially in airborne units. Of course, this hurts Teplinsky's reputation, as previously it was believed that he valued the lives of Russian soldiers above all else.
Also, the Russian web pages discuss the subject of the general having two families. In addition, mental health issues are often mentioned, which allegedly also raises questions.
By the way, today he turned 55 years old. And there are no official congratulations, which may also indicate disgrace.
