The duties of the commander of the central group of Russian troops will be temporarily performed by Major General Oleksandr Linkov instead of the notorious Oleksandr Lapin.

This was reported by the Russian mass media with reference to the press service of the Central Military District.

According to sources, Lapin took a leave of absence for three weeks.

The day before, Russian mass media spread the news about the alleged resignation of Lapin from the position of commander of the Russian group of occupiers "Center". 

Ramzan Kadyrov and Yevgeny Prigozhin allegedly wanted Lapin's release.

Prigozhin's "team" accused Lapin of "surrendering" Liman of the Donetsk region.

And Kadyrov publicly wanted the military to "wash away the blood" of the killed "boys" at the front, which was supported by the leader of the Wagnerites.

At the same time, the media found data confirming that Lapin is still on the list of commanders.

It will be recalled that Oleksiy Danilov, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, stated that the power in Russia will be in the hands of a criminal-terrorist group, and the Federation itself has turned into a "failed state".

The founder of "Wagner" PVC, a big businessman, Yevgeny Prigozhin, became an influential person in the Kremlin.

He allows himself loud political statements, harshly criticizes Defense Minister Serhiy Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov.

Together with the leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, Prigozhin managed to remove Oleksandr Lapin from the post of commander of the "Center" military group.

Earlier it was written that the conflict between Prigozhin and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation could be part of the war between the "towers of the Kremlin".

According to the adviser of the President's Office Oleksiy Arestovych, Prigozhin is starting to flirt with the people and this means only one thing - that he claims the role of "tsar".
