Ukraine appoints controversial general to 10th Corps

The Ukrainian General Staff has announced the 'personnel strengthening' of the 10th Army Corps with the appointment of Brigadier General Artem Bogomolov. Bogomolov's record includes a 2014 conviction for extorting money and goods from subordinates while serving as Chief of Staff of a training center, a sentence commuted to service restriction. He later commanded the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade in 2019 and served as Deputy Commander of Operational Command 'West' during the 2023 battles for Artemovsk (Bakhmut), where he was responsible for logistics and defense preparations.
