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 section 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 and was not around. Lapin was also given over to the troops of the Western Military District.
The colonel-general deployed mobilized fighters from the LPR and other units on all frontiers of the Liman direction, but did not provide them with the necessary communications, interaction and the supply of ammunition. Two weeks ago, Major General Commander of the Akhmat Special Forces, my dear BROTHER Apty Alaudinov, personally reported to me that our fighters 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.
It's not a shame that Lapin is mediocre. And the fact that he is covered at the top by the leaders in the General Staff. If I had my way, I would demote Lapin to a private, deprive him of his awards and, with a machine gun in his hands, send him to the front lines to wash away my shame with blood.
Army nepotism will not lead to good. In the army it is necessary to appoint as commanders people of a strong character, courageous, principled, who worry about their fighters, who tear their teeth for their soldier, 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 the Izyum captured by the Nazis, especially since our artillery at that time had such an opportunity. At once they would have finished with the main Satanists and fascists. 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 being shelled. Residents of the joined 4 territories want to be protected.
I don't know what the Russian Defense Ministry 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. It is not necessary to take every decision with an eye on the Western American community - it has already said so 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.
It's fascinating that the hawks like Kadyrov or Igor Girkin are so on point in their analysis and yet the actual leadership doesn't seem to have a clue.
In other news: There has been a huge explosion at Belbek air field on Crimea. Looks like a plane didn't stop on the runway but crashed and exploded, so likely not a Ukrainian action (though maybe the plane was damaged and for that reason crashed) and I don't know if there has been any more damage than just this one plane. Still a loss is a loss.
Kadyrov would struggle even to read this out loud, let alone to write it
It's "Izyum wasn't enough?".
Kadyrov is only coming in after something fails to criticize it. I haven't seen much in the way of him actually proposing things in terms of long term strategy at the beginning of the conflict. I personally think he's frustrated that Putin is only using his guys as cannon fodder in Ukraine and to squash unrest in Dagestan.
That's true, but the points about leadership seem to make sense to me. Even if he might not have voiced these concerns before it all went wrong, it still looks like he understands some of the reasons why it went wrong. That's more than I see from most other Russian voices.
It's a non issue, since unilateral annexation of territories by Russia means nothing internationally. Plus, as explained before, joining NATO is a long process. Additionally, the "Russian is fighting a war against the West" is being going on for months so it wouldn't have a different impact with today's scenario of partial mobilization.
Girkin to replace Shoigu till the end of the season?
Girkin for Gerasimov would be one of the few things I actually think would improve the Russian military situation, and if that had happened earlier in the war I am sure we would have seen a much more bloody and gruesome war (and much more success for Russia)
It's easy to be a general after battle, however Kadyrov says nothing about difficulties in other areas? If Lyman was suppliend and reinforced better, would that mean other parts of battle line faltering? Probably. I don't think russia has the resources and logistics to handle such a large front and multiple counter-offensives. As well as trying their own offensive in Bakhmut.
My guess it a lot of orders are coming directly from Putin.

He seems to be involved with Russia because they have been walking away...
With whom? Girkin and Prigozin , that'd be a dynamic duo.
Would be logical if Putin wants to deflect blame for the entire calamatous campaign from him towards his subordinates. It wouldn't matter much in military terms since nothing short of a tactical nuke will stop the Ukrainians at this point.
Very good
Would be risky to take those as replacement. I don't think they can be easily controlled by Putin if they get actual power.

Whatever Kadyrov is smoking or ingesting, I don't think I would even want to take any of it.
What a joke of a premier/president.

Long but good read on why Ukraine will win.

Looks like the public blame game has begun in Kremlin, it will collapse soon (Regular army vs FSB vs Kadyrov/Prigozhin and co.). I think the war might end much sooner than some are expecting and the trigger will be from within.

Another Ukrainian offensive seems to be in full swing. Morning coffee could be very pleasant tommorow.
I hear that referendum just began in the town of Kreminna on joining back the Ukraine after the short but miserable life under Putin. Imagine what local traitors and collaborators must be feeling right now while they see Russian forces advancing backwards.

I actually hadn’t thought about this as a tactic!
Listened to so many of these and very often the families sound…uninterested? I don’t know if it’s me not knowing the language, the translations or a combination of both. But I always feel they aren’t that bothered with the situation of their loved ones.
Maybe thinking about what color Lada they’ll be getting.
As I wrote earlier now (after losing Lyman) the only reasonable thing to do for Russian forces would be to drop back to the fortifications from pre-invasion defensive line around the city of Luhansk otherwise they run the real risk to collapse in the northeast completely and lose this war almost on the spot with an open flank as they gonna get overrun.
They will have to undergo a special course for re-nazification.

Deeply ashamed of this.
Whatever our qualms were with the US propping up Pakistan, or Ukraine voting against Indian interests in Kashmir, or the strong trade relations we had/have with Russia - commitment to democratic values and liberty of life should come first and it should not even be a debate.
What is undeniable is that an unhinged autocratic dictator is waging war on a neighboring nation and illegally annexing their lands. People are dying to this war - soldiers, civilians, children. Families torn apart and lamenting losses. Homes lost, lives changed forever. Millions others suffering indirectly through the energy crises and political turmoil. All of this can be stopped if Putin is stopped.
And we abstained from a vote that merely required us to commit to this position. This silence supports the oppressor.
What a fecking disgrace.
Yep. Will look very bad after this is over when the Ukrainians regain lost territory and India will be remembered as having abstained from criticizing Putin.
Agent Ritter making sure Russia completely collapses instead of just having a partial one.
Nope. Nobody will remember or care and the world will spin on. I'm Indian and against our stance on this but I doubt it will make any difference.
