A Russian general claims he has been dismissed after saying soldiers had been stabbed in the back by the failings of the top military brass. 

Major General Ivan Popov, who commanded the 58th Combined Arms Army, said in a voice message that he told the military leadership about the dire situation on the front line in Ukraine and was dismissed as a commander.

His remarks were made in a voice message published by Russian lawmaker Andrei Gurulyov.

Mr Popov said: "There was a tough situation with the senior bosses in which it was necessary either to keep quiet and be a coward or to say it the way it is.

"I had no right to lie in the name of you, in the name of my fallen comrades in arms, so I outlined all the problems which exist." 

He said he raised the deaths of Russian soldiers from Ukrainian artillery and said the army lacked proper counter battery systems and reconnaissance of enemy. 

"The senior chiefs apparently sensed some kind of danger from me and quickly concocted an order from the defence minister in just one day and got rid of me.

"The Ukrainian army could not break through our ranks at the front but our senior chief hit us from the rear, viciously beheading the army at the most difficult and intense moment."
