Obviously, on October 1, the Russian army lost Liman, a strategic center, which was the strongest psychological blow to Russian society. Russian generals issued an ultimatum to Kremlin , demanding a replacement, otherwise they may continue to retreat?
Not only that, this is after almost a month of loss in the Kharkiv and other cities in almost the same Kharkiv region. When the Ukrainian army entered Liman, the Internet was filled with videos that depicted the population of the town, embarrassing all Russians. The day of losing Liman happened to be Russian Army Day!
and Russian Ministry of Defense describes the results of the Liman battle in the past two weeks surprisingly calm, as if nothing had happened.
Defence Ministry spokesman Lieutenant General Nashenkov said without blinking: "In the direction of Liman, a large-scale shooting was carried out on the positions of the 66th and 93rd Mechanized Brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, eliminating more than 200 Ukrainian soldiers, five tanks and nine infantry fighting vehicles. Although Ukraine suffered losses, it had a significant advantage in strength and means, and the reserve team continued to attack in this direction. It posed a threat to the Russian army, and the Allied forces retreated from Liman to a more favorable border. "
Please remember that just three weeks ago, on September 12, the same spokesperson called the Russian escape from Ijium a transfer reorganization.
As expected, too many people were shocked by all this.
The first one to jump up and slap the table was Chechnya President Kadyrov . On Saturday night after hearing about Liman's loss, he roared deafeningly in his personal channel:
Nothing is better than the truth told, even if it is bitter, so he cannot remain silent about what happened to Liman. Kadyrov directly criticized General Alexander Lapin, the commander of the Central Military Region who commanded the battle, for his incompetence, which put the Russian army in shame. General Latina was awarded the title of Russian Hero Star for his occupation of Lisicansk, but in Liman, he set his command 150 kilometers away. Kadyrov also said that the Russian army's logistics supply in the direction of Liman also became a problem and lacked air force support.
Kadrov said he informed Valery Gerasimov, Chief of Staff of the Russian Federation Armed Forces. But General Gerasimov assured him that he did not doubt Lafen's military talent, nor did he believe that the Russian army would retreat from Chongliman and its surrounding areas.
Results A week later, Laping moved his command to Starobirsk, one hundred kilometers away from Luhansk, . Kadyrov said that he was sitting at the command center 150 kilometers away, how to command the front line?
Although Kadyrov criticized the general for being incompetent in command, he actually performed outstandingly in the Syrian battlefield before. Moreover, the 35-year-old son of the leveling general is on the Ukrainian battlefield today, leading the tank regiment of the Taman Motorized Infantry Division, which is still fighting on the front line.
Of course, Kadyrov did not really criticize the leveling of the general, but pointed his superiors to the leveling of the general, such as Chief of Staff Gerasimov or Minister of Defense Shoigu.
Because Kadyrov continued to write: "I don't know what the Russian Ministry of Defense has reported to the Supreme Commander, but in my opinion, stricter measures should be taken."
If this is not asking Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu and Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov to resign immediately, so what? After all, Shoigu and Gerasimov are mainly responsible for reporting the complete and most objective information on the progress of the special operation to Putin .
Almost on the same day, in addition to Kadyrov's sword-pointing the Minister of Defense and the Chief of General Staff, there was also the former commander of 58th Army , now a member of the State Duma and a member of the National Defense Commission, Lieutenant General Andrei Gurulev, who delivered a speech.
Lieutenant General Gurulev said: I can't explain Kliman's loss. I can't explain it from a military perspective. Perhaps, this is not only an important milestone in the military, but also a significant milestone in politics, especially now. It has been going on for several days, not understanding why the situation was not properly evaluated and no decision to step up deployment.Knowing that the troops were insufficient, why did there be no reinforcements? What's even more heartbreaking is that everything on the front line is reported from top to bottom, and it's all lies.
Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency Retired Lieutenkov did not remain silent after Liemann fell. Recently, he was the director of the Russian Institute of Strategic Studies, which is dedicated to preparing analytical documents for Russian leaders until the Presidential Palace of the Russian Federation .
On Saturday, the general was very clear in his near-ultimatum request to the Kremlin for the change in leadership of the Special Operations: "Liman has fallen and the retreat continues. In general, the General Staff and Front Command have failed our president and posed a threat to Russia. In this case, decisive change of generals is needed, especially in the Western Military Region, as he has made Barakley make his case, as he has made Barakley a move. Ya, Izum, Kupiyansk and Liman are lost. All of this is the result of long-term misjudgment. From ministers to frontline commanders, all need to be held accountable.
Logically, now everyone's eyes should be focused on Putin. He needs to urgently solve some problems. Measures that have been abandoned halfway, such as , the Russian Federation's Ministry of Defense , the deputy minister of General Dmitry Burgakov, a week ago He was dismissed, and he had obvious problems in organizational logistics and seemed to have no effect. Otherwise, the Russian army would not have lost Liman, Izum, and Kupyansk so quickly.
