I say as my opinion that the whole Russian Command, up to, and including Putin is a dead end.

"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."
