Blame for Kharkiv front collapse: military and mobilists, not generals.
10/ The blame for the collapse of the Kharkiv front lies, of course, with the military and Donbass mobilists, not with Zhidko, Lapin and the General Staff. They write nonsense in their reports, the bastards." /end

Accusation of deceit and violence leading to bloodshed and death
7/ These are the people who encircle themselves with a wall of lies and who have plunged us into a sea of blood and a swamp of corpses on the front line.

Military leaders knew the front was in a disastrous state in July.
5/ Zhidko and other Lapins (I won't name names, but I have all the moves written down) saw perfectly well the state of the front, which was disastrous. In the same way the state of affairs at this section of the front was known in the General Staff (at the beginning of July).

Zhidko chastises fighters for low fatalities during failed assault
4/ It was the eighth similar attempt in which, by my reckoning, 120 men were killed. And after this task began to be sabotaged by the fighters [refusing to do it], an irate Zhidko chided us: "And how is it that you went on the assault but you do not have 200s [fatalities]?"

Colonel-General Zhidko personally led a platoon to attack enemy fortification
3/ But I personally saw how Colonel-General Zhidko, commander of the ZVO [Eastern Military District], on the Dolina-Krasnopolye section of the front, personally commanded a platoon to attack a company-sized (!) fortification of the enemy.
