Aleksandar Lapin
Aleksandar Lapin, born in 1964, is a Russian general known for his role as the commander of the Northern Group of Forces during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He previously led the Central Military District from 2017 to 2022 and commanded operations in Syria. Lapin has been a controversial figure, facing criticism for his leadership during military setbacks, notably from Chechen leader Ramzan Kadirov. He has been implicated in significant military operations, including an offensive in Kharkiv, and is linked to previous military controversies, such as the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17. His recent reported disappearance has sparked widespread speculation, as he would be the highest-ranking Russian general confirmed killed in the conflict if the rumors are substantiated.
