Russia dismissed a general who fled the East and “slept through” Ukraine’s offensive in the Kursk region.

Moscow confirmed the removal of General Oleksandr Lapin, commander of the “Sever” army group overseeing the Kursk, Sumy, and Kharkiv directions. He was replaced by Yevgeny Nikiforov.

Lapin previously led the “Center” group at the start of the invasion and retreated from the Kharkiv region during Ukraine’s 2022 counteroffensive.
