Russia appears to have replaced one of its most prominent commanders in Ukraine following fierce criticism of the general, but it remains to be seen if this is a permanent move.
Alexander Lapin has led Army Group Center during Russia's invasion of Ukraine, even being awarded the title"Hero of Russia" over the summer for his role in the capture of Lugansk in eastern Ukraine, according to Meduza.
Lapin, a veteran commander of fighting in Syria and leader of Russia's Central Military District, led a contingent of forces during the February invasion of Ukraine from the north, according to the Russian open source intelligence Telegram channel Rybar, then a large army group in the northern Donbas region. His forces reportedly played key roles in the capture of Lugansk, the first full Ukrainian province to come under total Russian control.
"It’s not shameful that Lapin is talentless. It’s that he’s protected from above by leaders on the General Staff. If it were up to me, I’d demote Lapin to a private, strip his awards, and send him to the front with a gun in his hands so he could wash away his disgrace with blood," Kadyrov said."As for Colonel General Lapin, for the past few days I have been trying to establish contact with him through my special forces commanders. But my guys can't find him.
