Commander of the Central Military District Alexander Lapin will be temporarily replaced by Lieutenant General Andrey Mordvichev

This is reported by Ura.ru, citing a source in the Ministry of Defense.

Earlier, this information was published by a number of telegram channels, including Olga Kurlaeva, a correspondent of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company.

Since there was no order to remove Lapin, he will again head the Center after his vacation.

The day before, the media reported that Lapin was allegedly removed from his post. Earlier, the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, as well as businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, criticized the general. Criticism concerned the abandonment of the city of Krasny Liman by Russian troops.
