The Puffers will be along shortly....lol
Sooner or later the military will get tired of this crap................
Oh no, it was not over criticism, it was over performance or his utter failure to perform.
“Col. Gen. Alexander Lapin had been publicly bashed by a close ally of President Vladimir V. Putin over his performance in Ukraine.”
‘Russian state media confirms that a top general is no longer in his post.’

You know you using shat selectively cherry-picked sources when even the pro-Ukrainian propaganda ridden NYT says otherwise........
Notice that in the entire article, nothing is said about battlefield losses.....other than a captioned picture. LULZ.
“....over the officer’s responsibility for a recent chaotic retreat in the country’s northeast that underscored Russian weaknesses on the battlefield”
*shakeshead*
LMAO
There are also rumors from Ukraine that Sullivan has pressed Zelensky to launch a Kherson campaign as soon as possible. Zelensky is said to have agreed to do so.
But the Ukrainian army does not want to do that - at least not now. The Russian troops in the area have been reinforced. The fields are muddy and can not be crossed by heavy vehicles. Russian artillery attacks destroy equipment pre-positioned for the attack before it is ready to come near the front line.
The Ukrainian military has for weeks tried probing attacks in the Kherson region. These had no significant results while the attacking units had high losses. The units deployed around the region have been there since early October or longer. The Military Land deployment map shows only one unit that arrived just five days ago. The 98th Azov battalion, one of the fascist volunteer forces, has been positioned in the back of 128th Mountain Assault Brigade which, in recent weeks, has had some of the most serious losses.
The use of such 'nationalist' forces to prevent the retreat of exhausted front line units has been a regular occurrence in this war.
Ukraine has for weeks had no success on the battle field. Washington wants it to show such a success so that it can tell its allies that the war can be won by the Ukrainian side. The push for an attack on Kherson is again part of the overall campaign to convince Europeans that they should sustain the efforts to arm and support Ukraine.
The campaign is misleading. Ukraine is losing the war badly. But the U.S. wants to fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian - and down to the last Euro.
MORALE IS A FACTOR: RU soldiers in Kazan openly jeer and curse their commanding general— who, apparently drunk, mumbles back at them. This conduct is a text-book example of disrespect, insubordination & mutinous assembly. Morale in newly mobilized RU units is abysmal.

Just send him to Ukraine. He will quickly retire, permanently.
No one figured out yet Putin is the one who does the hiring & firing? Its only him that needs to be replaced, he’s the totally incompetent one!
Nothing to see here tovarisches, move along.
