Russian general criticized by Kadyrov has been replaced

This is reported by the Russian media.

Major General Alexander Linkov, who was previously responsible for mobilization, will temporarily act as commander of the troops of the Central Military District of the Russian Federation.

Previously, the troops of the "Center" in Ukraine were commanded by Major General Alexander Lapin. However, he went on a three-week vacation.

When the Ukrainian troops defeated the invaders near Liman, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, supported Lapin with public criticism, supported by the head of the Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin.

After that, Lapin stopped appearing in public, and at the end of October there were reports that he had been removed from the post of commander. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation did not officially confirm this, but unofficially said that the general needed to heal, so he went on vacation,
