On 15 July 2023, during the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Seliverstov was dismissed as commander of the 106th Guards Airborne Division by the Russian military command. The dismissal of Seliverstov, who was noted for being protective of his troops, came after he had appealed to the Russian military command for better conditions for his men. The 106th was tasked with the protection of the northern flank of Bakhmut around Soledar.^[3]
