By @colonelcassad:

In the conditions of leaving Krasny Liman, the current priority is to keep the troops in a combat-ready state, form new defense lines, replenish battered units and subunits, transfer additional reserves to this direction to block enemy attempts to advance in the direction of Svatovo, Kremennaya and Novodruzhesk.

Despite the fact that the Krasny Liman garrison has gained a lot of time to stabilize the front, this is still not enough. The forced retreat from Krasny Liman was the result of the inability to secure the flanks of the Krasny Liman grouping, which led to an enveloping enemy maneuver north of Krasny Liman after the failure of attempts at a frontal assault on the city.

Finally the news from Poddubny:

As a result, in the Liman direction, the enemy forced our units to leave Krasny Liman. Soldiers and commanders of the Russian Army fought their way out of encirclement and withdrew to defensive lines. An alternative to retreat is a boiler. Now the Kremennaya area is the cutting edge.

@epoddubny

This is what it looks like in Liman.

Do not start "all is gone" histeria. This is a military situation. It often happens many times over same settlements.

The AFU was let into Liman upon loosing enormous quantities of their personnel while our losses are minimal.

The civilians always have an option to evacuate but prefer to stay. Same thing could be said about some mothers that stay in Donetsk. It is a strange choice but it is their Donbass choice.

Zelensky urgently needed to pass some good Ukro news around in order to block off the referendum effect, this is why 6k+ were thrown into this useless offensive. This is all about a show off. Don't help him do what he intends.

The settlement might go back and forth 10 times more, save your emotions.

All the ukro nazis will be sent to Bandera as planned.

Troll removing machine is on.

❗️In connection with the creation of a threat of encirclement, the allied troops were withdrawn from the settlement of Krasny Lyman to more advantageous lines.

Ramzan Kadyrov has reacted on Liman:

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 have demoted Lapin to the rank of private, would have deprived him of his awards and, with a machine gun in his hands, would have sent 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 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.

By Primakov:

For the first time since the Great Patriotic War, we gave the Russian city to the enemy. A part not even historically, not emotionally, but legally, formally, officially of our land. And Ukrainian punishers will now begin to torture, mock and kill Russian citizens, people who until recently voted in a referendum for reunification with Russia.

General Gurulev on Liman:

Liman is abandoned.

I cannot explain this surrender from a military point of view. This is probably a milestone not only military, but also political, especially now.

This was not a short-lived battle, not only the forces of the LDNR were defending there, the unit of the 20th combined arms army and the 144th division, which worked there in full growth, was worthy of the defense. I have no complaints about the guys, they specifically fought.

It is not clear to me why for all the time they did not correctly assess the situation, did not strengthen the grouping. Yes, guys are heroes, but there is an elementary calculation of forces and means that no one has done correctly.

I fully agree with Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov in this part.

The problem is not that the commander of the grouping of the Central Military District misjudged the situation. The problem is the general lies, the report of a good situation. This system goes from top to bottom.

We did not know the number of forces and means that were advancing on Liman? If they didn't know, then where was intelligence? The 144th division worked perfectly there, army aviation worked perfectly, artillery did not stop working at all.

The whole problem is not on the ground, but on Frunzenskaya Embankment, where they still do not understand, do not own the situation. We need our own Kvashnin, who gave commands, wrote a directive, went to the trench to see the soldier to see how his task was being carried out. That is why we successfully completed the Second Chechen campaign.

Until something completely different appears in the General Staff, nothing will change. Everything else is a consequence of the policy pursued from there.

There were some rumors about an attack on Belbek Airport in Sevastopol.

"Stop dispersing the game about the shelling of the Belbek airport in the Crimea!

The video clearly shows how the plane rolled out of the runway and exploded."

By @savanichi:

Kadyrov and Prigozhin spoke harshly about Liman. In my opinion, this is very similar to the harsh media reaction to the excesses on the ground during the mobilization. Our people not only stopped hushing up some problems - but, on the contrary, they began to name those who, in their opinion, are to blame for this. If I understand everything correctly, then we are smoothly moving into the stage when names and surnames begin to appear for each error. This, of course, is a big plus, which, at least, will not make it possible to step on the same rake.

After yesterday's return of the territories, everything is moving into a completely different phase - no one will be allowed to act carelessly! Liman I perceive as the last echo of temporary failures. Then everything will positively change! I think so!

@russianhead

Today, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, spoke about the situation in Krasny Liman, from where, according to the RF Ministry of Defense, troops were withdrawn in connection with the creation of a threat of encirclement.

We publish a comment by Evgeny Viktorovich Rogozin:

“Kadyrov's expressive statement, of course, is not at all in my style.

But I can say:

Ramzan, keep burning it"! And all these thugs must be sent with machine guns barefoot to the front!"

@russianhead

Fasten the belts here comes the next one

Otvazhnye - O group (the Brave) on Ramzan Kadyrov words about Liman:

"About Ramzan Kadyrov's accusations against the commander of the Central Military District Alexander Lapin in the retreat near Liman, in fairness, it is necessary to refute the untruth:

All the conclusions of the emotional text of the head of Chechnya are based on incorrect information: General Lapin DID NOT COMMAND THE DEFENSE OF THE estuary and did not sit out in the rear.

▪️To blame the retreat in the Kharkov direction, the general, who did not lead the defense of this sector, but was thrown at it WITH A SMALL PART OF HIS TROOPS, as reinforcements and the last attempt to correct the most difficult situation at the front, is extremely wrong.
▪️Alexander Lapin never sat in the rear. This can be confirmed by everyone who has ever encountered him. Be it Syria, be it Ukraine, where almost all the fighters of the "O" group know this. This is probably the only group commander who has been in the battle formations of his troops since the beginning of the operation. Therefore, the statement that Lapin was holed up in Lugansk is not true.
Of course, it is necessary to look for the guilty, but blaming the commander for everything, whose area of ​​responsibility was a completely different sector of the front, is to make a gross mistake, from which in the end it will not be possible to draw the right conclusions.

Fighters of the group "Brave" Otvazhnie."

@rusich_army resumes:

"In general, in the information media field, a coup / war / discontent began in the direction of the Ministry of Defense, namely, in the direction of the leadership, with regards to reports on situations.

Already expressed their opinion:
Ramzan Kadyrov, Yevgeny Prigozhin, deputies (immigrants from the Ministry of Defense) and various publics.

What will happen next, we just need to think and wait."

Russia is a mysterious place where things usually happen not because but despite. Why? We will never know. 🤔

Kadyrov reprimanded the Russian General Lapin, who led the defense of Liman (Red)

“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 have demoted Lapin to the rank of private, would have deprived him of his awards and, with a machine gun in his hands, would have sent him to the front lines to wash away my shame with blood.

There is no place for nepotism in the army, especially in difficult times.

I don’t know what the RF Ministry of Defense is reporting 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 nukes.”

Was someone saying that people were not allowed to speak up in Russia btw?

Oh right, 1st they kill them, then they rape them, then they make them vote at gun point, dive into Baltic and bite gas pipes and then yes they can speak up 😁

Alexandr Khodakovsky - commander of Vostok battalion:

"I understand Kadyrov, I understand Prigozhin, but it's still annoying that passions have reached such heights. It is obvious that the "old school" is now fighting for its positions, and the new generation is striving for real power and control in the army - and if the process of integrating "fresh blood" was more harmonious, the conflict would not spill out into the public plane. A couple of weeks ago, I veiledly wrote about this, saying that some military leaders receive high positions, but do not receive real powers - it was Surovikin that I meant.

I don't know him personally, but I've heard a lot of good things about him. By the way, I haven’t heard anything bad about Lapin either, but he has the honor to belong to this very “old school”, and fell under distribution due to “corporate” ties. I would like internal conflicts and contradictions not to become public, but who will prohibit Ramzan Kadyrov and Yevgeny Prigozhin from sharing their opinions?"
