This incident follows a trend of high-ranking officials being arrested in the Russian military, including the recent arrest of another deputy defense minister. In Ukraine, explosions have been reported in Kyiv amid ongoing airstrike warnings, with the Russian Armed Forces continuing to target critical infrastructure.
