Powerful supporters of President Vladimir Putin have criticised the military’s withdrawal from a city in Ukraine, saying military leaders should be punished for their retreat.
“There is a lot of questioning and criticism going on here since the withdrawal from Lyman and now we have these strong statements from no one less than the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, a very close ally to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“He said the army leadership has covered for [an] incompetent general who should now be sent to the front lines to wash his shame off with his blood,” he continued, adding that such statements from Putin’s allies are seen as an indirect warning from the Russian president himself.
“These criticisms are also a reflection of what is being said in the street by Russian individuals, that a powerful nation like Russia with all the weapons it has, superior army, and technology, shouldn’t be receiving those defeats in the front against a less strong army like that of Ukraine,” Vall said.
Oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin, a close confidant of Putin, also echoed those sentiments and referred to Russia’s military generals as “pieces of garbage”, saying they should be sent “barefoot with machineguns straight to the front”.
