In the Russian Federation publicly released top -generator, which came on Sumy and Kharkiv: what it means - BBC

Lapin actively managed the fighting in Ukraine, known for the offensive on Kyiv and Chernihiv, later - to Lisichansk, and later - had the task of displacing the Armed Forces from the Kursk region and arranging a "buffer zone" in Sumy and Kharkiv regions.

The topofizer of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which is not 61 years old, was removed from the army, and the media explained what could be about changing generations and actions against the head of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov. The media drew attention to the information of RBC, which reported Lapin on September 21.

Anonymous sources said that in August, the tops, which in August was removed from the command of the Leningrad Military District, became civil and went to Tatarstan. The new position of the former military is the assistant to the head of the Russian region: he will be engaged in the military who have returned from the war in Ukraine, according to the post of Russia. Meanwhile, the BBC explained that such publicity is unusual for the Kremlin, as such liberation is secret.

According to correspondent Elijah Balabanov, public dismissal provides certain signals about the Russian army. The article reminded that General Lapin conducted several campaigns in Ukraine and every time it was accompanied by either scandals or escapes from the occupied territories. From 2024 he has been engaged in the Armed Forces in the Kursk region, and again the Russian command, as well as Z-bloggers, saw failures.

In particular, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, thanks to the "meat assault", occupied several villages in the Sumy region, but had to retreat. A similar situation is in the Kharkiv region, in which "the wards of Lapin also went bad. " In the fourth year of the Russian Federation and after a series of laps of General, who was Deputy Gerasimov, they decided to remove from command.

According to the BBC correspondent, the Kremlin probably decided to update people around the Chief of Staff or is about "natural change of generations. " "One can talk about a serious trend in the Russian army. The obvious tendency to replace the generals from his cohort with new faces from the group of Defense Minister Junus Beck Yevkurov and the Defense Minister Andriy Belousov," the BBC summarized.

It should be noted that on August 21, Focus wrote about the removal of Lapin from the post of commander of the North group, which fought on the border of Kursk region. The new commander was General Yevgeny Nikiforov, involved in a rocket strike on a Drama Theater in Chernihiv in August 2023.
