The battle of Liman has ended. The Ukrainian army is attacking another strategic location, Crimina, and is trying to continue to fight forward, cutting off the logistics supply line of the Russian army in the region. The Ukrainian army seized Liman not only gained more initiative in the battlefield, but also had a huge impact on the battle situation in the entire Luhansk Oblast. So, how did the Russian army lose Liman? Who should be responsible for this?
Chechen Republic President Kadyrov 2 bombarded the commander of the Russian Central Military Region, General Lam Pinning, two days after Kremlin responded, but the response was obviously favoring Kadyrov and did not say a word to the Russian army for the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing of the placing The Russian Central Military Region Command made a statement, claiming that the placing of the general should not be responsible for Liman's loss. Many problems had already arisen in the early stages and implying that the placing of the general actually had no power to command the battle of Liman.
Several Russian officers and soldiers who finally escaped from Liman alive accepted an interview with Russian official media. In the interview, these surviving Russian troops emphasized that they fought well in Liman and withstood the attack of the superior forces of the Ukrainian army. They did not allow the Ukrainian army to break through the defense line, but the reinforcements were unable to come and the artillery support and air fire support they requested did not respond. In the end, the Russian army lost all their strength in Liman and evacuated under the Ukrainian army's interception artillery fire, and suffered heavy losses during the evacuation.
These Russian soldiers who were interviewed by Russian official media have hard to say how credible the content they said is. After all, this is unilateral information and it is difficult to confirm. Moreover, as a defeated army, many statements are likely to have a tendency to benefit themselves and put the blame on others. Moreover, as grassroots officers and soldiers, what they can see is different from the battle situation seen by senior officers, and many things are actually heard of.
However, it can be confirmed that the Russian army fled after the Kremlin incorporated the four places in eastern Ukraine into Russia. The Ukrainian military released many pictures and videos, showing that the Russian army suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment under the Ukrainian artillery fire. As for how much it has been lost, it is not clear. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has controlled relevant information unless it is released on its own initiative. Russian Ministry of Defense only continued to claim how much damage the Ukrainian army was given, rarely mentioning the situation of the war, and not mentioning Liman at all, until it admitted that the Russian army withdrew from Liman and "reassembled" to a more conducive area to defense.
Many news shows that before Liman's fall, the nearby Russian army was moving towards Liman. The Russian Aerospace Army also braved the Ukrainian air defense network to intercept the Ukrainian ground forces in an attempt to stop the advancement of Ukrainian ground forces, losing several fighter jets, including the Su-34 fighter bomber . However, in the end, Liman's Russian army evacuated before the Ukrainian encirclement closed, and suffered heavy losses on the evacuation channel controlled by Ukrainian firepower. The Russian 20th Army may have lost its combat effectiveness.

is important to Liman, especially the development of the war situation at that time. The top Russian troops were considered to have a clear understanding, otherwise they would not have mobilized the surrounding Russian troops to rescue. But the problem is that the Russian army, which suffered serious losses in the early offensive, and the logistics supply was continuously hit by the Ukrainian army, its combat effectiveness was no longer enough to defend Liman. In fact, this is also the problem faced by most Russian troops at present:
is seriously damaged by personnel and equipment, even if the mobilization troops is supplemented, it can only restore very little combat power. The logistics supply line was hit or even cut off, which makes the combat effectiveness of the Russian army continue to weaken.
As for whether the Kremlin directly interfered in the command of the Russian army during the Liman War, whether the President of Putin directly commanded the Liman Russian army through the Russian General Staff, and asked the Liman Russian army not to evacuate before the four eastern Ukraine were incorporated into Russia, it is unknown.
What is certain is that so far, the series of failures encountered by the Chinese and Russian troops in the "Special Military Operation" were all the faults of the Russian army. For this reason, many senior Russian officers were dismissed and even arrested. The Kremlin was not at all wrong, and the "Special Military Operation" has been carried out in accordance with the Kremlin's plan, although the goal of the "Special Military Operation" is constantly shrinking.
