Purge has a Soviet connotation.
How about “removal of dissidents”?
Generally indicating a firing squad, a wall and the undesirables.

Introducing Colonel Oleksiy Morozov to the staff on Monday, Zelenskiy said his main task was to ensure that only those who see their future tied with Ukraine join the agency - his first comments since the agents were arrested.
“And, of course, the agency must be cleared of anyone who chooses not Ukraine for themselves or discredits the state guard service,” he said on Telegram.
Smart.
Putin’s government is all about subterfuge.
Don’t hire anybody who is in it for the money.
