My sources have confirmed this information in advance. Indeed, Dyumin was invited to a meeting [with Putin] yesterday, and he was instructed to oversee the conduct of the counterterrorist operation.

Alexei Dyumin’s appointment as a senior official with comprehensive powers to address the operational crisis in the Kursk region indicates that the security forces were unable to resolve coordination issues independently, without Moscow's intervention,
Kadyrov is well-practiced at spinning a contention to his advantage, so he is unlikely to be subjected to blowback,
Akhmat [commanders] knew perfectly well when and where the [Ukrainians] would attack and let them pass,
I think these claims help [pro-war figures] with creating this picture that the Ukrainian army can’t beat Russia without engaging in corruption…They can’t just admit that this was a brilliant work of the Ukrainian army,
