His decisions are not up for discussion. So he mustn’t make mistakes, for there’s no mechanism to correct them.

Solovyev should drag his ass out to the front lines if he thinks things aren’t being done right.

The Ukrainian military intelligence body, the GUR, has appealed to Russian troops who have been left behind in Kherson after the withdrawal to give themselves up.
There are reports that some soldiers may have been left behind during the order to pull out. Some have changed into civilian clothing but there are fears that they may still be armed.
In a statement posted on its social media channels, the defence intelligence of Ukraine said: “In case of voluntary captivity, Ukraine guarantees you survival and safety. We comply with the Geneva Conventions, guarantee prisoners of war food, medical care and the possibility of your exchange for soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces held captive in the Russian Federation.
“It is safe to surrender to captivity after prior discussing the conditions of surrender with authorised representatives of the Ukrainian command by calling the hotline of the state project of Ukraine ‘I want to live.’”
It has provided telephone numbers, or told soldiers to approach Ukrainian military with their guns hung over their shoulder, with a white flag or cloth and shout “I surrender”.

Zelenskiy: ‘Kherson never gave up on Ukraine’
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has released a statement on his official Telegram account after his troops retook Kherson on Friday.
Zelenskiy said it was a “historic day” and that the people in the southern city “never lost hope”.
He said: “They never gave up on Ukraine. Hope for Ukraine is always justified – and Ukraine always returns its own.”
The president previously shared a video of people celebrating around a fire in Kherson as darkness descended.
The full statement reads:
Today is a historic day. We are returning Kherson. As of now, our defenders are on the approaches to the city. But special units are already in the city.
The people of Kherson were waiting. They never gave up on Ukraine. Hope for Ukraine is always justified – and Ukraine always returns its own.
And even when the city is not yet completely cleansed of the enemy’s presence, the people of Kherson themselves are already removing Russian symbols from the streets and buildings and any traces of the occupiers’ stay in Kherson.
It was the same in all other cities liberated by our defenders. It will be the same in those cities that are still waiting for our return.
Ukraine will come to all its people.
And I thank every soldier and every unit of the defence forces who are making this offensive operation in the south possible now.
Absolutely everyone – from privates to generals.
The armed forces, intelligence, SBU, National Guard – all who brought today’s day closer for Kherson oblast.

I read that letter from Dugin as an appeal to Prigozhin and Kadyrov that the warlord faction needs an ideology (“commissar dictatorship” presumably = some form of National Bolshevism) if it wishes to take power and that he’s willing to supply it. He’s already lost his daughter (likely to a military faction car bomb) and now he’s also risking a fall out of a window or poisoning courtesy of the siloviki faction.
Dugin served his purpose for the regime in drawing up a thuggish and hateful geopolitical grand strategy for Russia. At this point, though, he’s irrelevant to all three factions and to Putin. If one of them offs him I doubt any of the others will be saddened by it happening.
