New successes of the Armed Forces: The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation through failures changed the commander in the key direction - ISW

The offensive operations of the Russian troops in the Avdiivka area and the stallion coincided with localized offensive efforts in the Luhansk region and the eastern part of Zaporizhzhya - all this is done to prevent the defense forces to transfer reserves to a critical front -important front - the West of Zaporizhzhya. About it reports "Institute of War Research" in the summary of October 10.

Analysts confirm the new promotion of the Armed Forces in the border of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya regions. Geolocated data, published on October 8, indicate that the Armed Forces advanced in the northeast of Nikolsky (3 km from the coal and 30 from the Great Novosilka). The General Staff of the Armed Forces reported partial success near Andreevka (7 km from Bakhmut).

Russian sources reported that the Armed Forces had advanced west of Novofedorivka (15 km from the robot and 6 to the northwest of the horse). The Russian military-political leadership may have again succeeded in changing the commander of the 58th general military army, which indicates large-scale problems with the management and command of the occupation group in the western part of the Zaporozhye region.

On October 9, the Russian source reported that the command had removed Lieutenant General Denis Lamin from the command of the 58th All-Military Army. In July, Lamin replaced the past commander-Major General Ivan Popov. It is reported that during these three months the Russian General Staff had to be twisted to hide what was really happening within the units of the 58th Army, which now opposes the counter-offensive of Ukraine in the west of Zaporizhzhya region.

According to the source, Lamin is approaching the head of the General Staff of the Russian Federation Valery Gerasimov, who transferred him to work in the General Staff to protect him from criticism for failure in the western part of Zaporozhye. The ISW has no direct confirmation that Lamin is removed from office, that is, the command of the occupation group has changed twice in a short time, which, for its part, may indicate difficulty management in the key area of ​​the front.
