Lieutenant General Aleksandr Matovnikov, 57, can be seen dancing naked to music in a 44-second-long clip shared on the Telegram messaging app.
It adds that he “likes to shift the responsibility for making decisions to his subordinate officers. The general is more involved in creating similar video content for his girlfriends”. An extraordinary video was leaked online showing Lieutenant General Alexander Matovnikov, the 57-year-old deputy commander of Russian ground forces, dancing naked to music.
“The leak of the video is very likely intended to further embarrass Matovnikov for the operational failures that reportedly enabled Belarusian partisans to attack Machulichi air base near Minsk yesterday and damage an A-50 surveillance aircraft,” said Chris O, a military historian.
