Kremlin fires top Russian general after continued criticism of siloviki

Alexander Lapin is considered one of the most important Russian generals. Now the 58-year-old soldier would have been relieved of his position. After the Russian defeat in Lyman, the general was heavily criticized by the military elites ‘siloviki’. Thus, the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov turned against him. And Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the infamous paramilitary group Wagner, did not spare his criticism either.
