For the first time: Kadyrov named the generals responsible for the loss of Liman
The head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, made an unprecedented statement about the fall of Krasny Liman, openly naming those responsible, in his opinion, for the successful offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
PolitNavigator quotes the text of Kadyrov’s statement in full:
“I have always said: there is nothing better than the voiced truth, albeit bitter, offensive, but the truth. This is the only way to move forward. Therefore, I cannot remain silent about what happened in Krasny Liman.
The defense of this area was led by the commander of the Central Military District, Colonel General Alexander Lapin. The same Lapin who received the star of the Hero of Russia for the capture of Lisichansk, although de facto he was not there. Lapin was also subordinated to the troops of the Western Military District.
The Colonel General deployed mobilized fighters from the LPR and other units at all borders of the Liman direction, but did not provide them with the necessary communications, interaction and supply of ammunition. Just two weeks ago, Major General commander of the special forces “Akhmat”, my dear BROTHER Apty Alaudinov, personally reported to me that our soldiers could become an easy target. In turn, I informed Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, about the danger. But the general assured me that he had no doubts about Lapin's leadership talent and did not believe that a retreat was possible in Krasny Liman and its environs.
A week later, Lapin moves his headquarters to Starobelsk, a hundred kilometers from his subordinates, while he himself sits in Lugansk. How can you quickly manage units, being 150 km away from them? Due to the lack of elementary military logistics, today we have left several settlements and a large piece of territory.
The insult is not that Lapin is incompetent. And the fact that the leaders at the top of the General Staff are covering for him. If it were up to me, I would demote Lapin to private, deprive him of his awards and, with a machine gun in his hands, send him to the front line to wash away his shame with blood.
Army nepotism will not lead to good things. In the army, it is necessary to appoint as commanders people of strong character, courageous, principled, who care about their soldiers, who fight tooth and nail for their soldiers, who know that a subordinate cannot be left without help and support. There is no place for nepotism in the army, especially in difficult times.
We didn't have enough Raisins? Even then I said: shoot at the enemy’s military concentration in Izyum captured by the fascists, especially since our artillery at that time had such a possibility. They would put an end to the main Satanists and fascists at once. We must carry out NWO in the full sense of the word, and not flirt. Use every opportunity and every weapon to defend OUR territory. Donetsk is still under fire. Residents of the annexed 4 territories want to be protected.
I don't know what the RF Ministry of Defense reports to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, but in my personal opinion, more drastic measures should be taken, up to the declaration of martial law in the border areas and the use of low-yield nuclear weapons. There is no need to make every decision with an eye on the Western American community - it has already said and done a lot against us.
Yesterday there was a parade in Izyum, today a flag in Liman, and what tomorrow?
Everything would be fine if it weren't so bad“, Kadyrov concluded.
