Putin no longer wants to see his generals

Vladimir Putin, who has changed command twice since the start of the war in Ukraine, does not want to see his generals. The President canceled meetings in Sochi with the leadership of the Russian Defense Ministry after his army in the Kharkov region suffered the worst defeat since the start of the war.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny said on Sunday, in a week the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to recapture 3,000 square kilometers of occupied territories. After breaking through the front, the Russian army left the territory in a matter of days, which it had captured for about 3 months with thousands of victims.

Following Balakliya, Kupyansk and Izyum were left, where the occupation administration of the Kharkov region and the headquarters of the group advancing on the Donbass from the North were located. Russians continue to leave new cities.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on Saturday called what is happening "distractions" and a planned withdrawal of troops.

Also, according to Meduza, the Kremlin postponed referendums on the accession of the "DNR" and "LNR" due to the successful counter-offensive of Ukraine

Kremlin political technologists who worked in the Zaporozhye and Kharkiv regions were recalled to Russia. Political technologists who work in the Kherson region remain in the region for the time being, the report says.

Russian politicians talked about referendums both in spring and summer. They planned to hold them on September 11th. Then they moved it to November 4th. Now, due to the successes of Ukraine at the front, this date is also not considered.
