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........
The russkies can’t fight, their equipment doesn’t work and the ukies are winning everywhere. ukraine should start planning their victory parade through moscow now, and the multi-national corporations can start dividing up russias’ natural resources! In a few more days the ground is going to be solid enough to support tanks, and the new narrative will be how ruthless and mean the russians are.
” selectively cherry-picked sources”
LOL!! The irony! The irony!
Lapin stronk! Putin stronk!
“it was over performance or his utter failure to perform.”
With Lapin’s relief, all five of the Senior Operational Commanders of the Russian Army (the four Military Districts, and the Airborne) have been relieved since the start of this invasion in February.
