Russian media and official resources did not comment on the information that Lapin’s body was removed from the river. Sources told us about the general’s death.
To the topic Of the 128 people only 12 remained: the invaders still complain about Commander Lapin
We immediately tried to confirm or deny the information. Unfortunately, the data turned out to be false.
Lapin was criticized by Prigozhin and Kadyrov
Lapin led a group fighting in the Lugansk-Kharkov direction. It should be noted that he has been repeatedly criticized by the president of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. He accused the general first of the invaders’ retreat from the Kharkiv region, then of the “surrender” of Liman and of the breakthrough of the Ukrainian armed forces in other settlements in the Donetsk region.
He criticized Lapin and the head of the PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin. The network noted that Kadyrov and Prigozhin launched a campaign to discredit the general in early October.
Lapin was fired the day before
Before that, Russian military correspondents had written that Lapin had been fired from the post of commander. There was no official information about it, but the silence on personnel changes is typical of the Russian military command.
There was also information that Lapin had written a resignation letter of his own free will. It is reported that General Andrei Mordvichev was appointed in his place.
What is the memory of the occupier Lapin
- In May it became known that Lapin awarded the oil tanker’s son for his “successes” in the war against Ukraine. Then the Russian army withdrew from the Chernigov and Kiev directions.
- Lapin recently pointed a gun at the head of one of the commanders. In the Svatovsky district, the Russians suffered an intense bombing of the Ukrainian army. Eventually, the invaders decided to retreat, but then a general came to them. Upon learning of the retreat, Lapin pointed a gun at the president of the commander of the fifth company, Lieutenant V., asking to go back.
