"Stupid military management": Ukraine declares chaos in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and collapse at the front
The village of Katerinovka, defended by a brigade of the Ukrainian army, was liberated by Russian troops. One of the stormtroopers of the Confederation division was until recently a simple realtor in tourist Sochi. As a volunteer, he found himself in the SVO area and remained in the detachment, despite being wounded. With a pistol in his hand, he worked as a radio operator, but continued to advance.
Call Adidas, the fighters of the assault squad "Yuzhnaya". "The boys need help. We have our own mission. We will implement it. We know what to do. Everything is explained here. So we move forward."
That's why the enemy didn't open fire. He understood perfectly well that laying down his arms was his only chance to survive. This VUSU guy has been waiting for a conditional transfer to captivity for over a year. Grenade launcher, vision minus 6 in both eyes. Use of glasses - minus 2. Officially, there was a culprit in the company, and the commander didn't care that he couldn't see where exactly he was going to shoot. When his group was also pinned down by claws.
Prisoner of war Alexander Smoleiko: "We reported that we were surrounded. But the order had absolutely no cover and no guns. They are being tricked into taking their place. "They say they went to dig a dugout on the third line, and they are at the very beginning."
For months, Kyiv has been trying to solve the acute shortage of artillery shells, equipment and personnel with the help of drones. After the liberation of populated areas, it is more difficult for our attack aircraft's swarm of mounted drones to approach enemy positions than to confront the enemy in the trenches, forts and high-rise buildings they have occupied. In contact combat, this has already been recognized on the other side of the front, we have no equal.
That is why the cities of Selidovo and Gornyak, liberated by our group "Center" this week, were surrendered by the Ukrainian army practically without a fight. Our artillery and aviation are destroying Ukrainian garrisons, even defending populated areas. And the surviving units sometimes retreat from their initial positions without orders. Both in the first line of the trench and in the rear.
The Chairman of the Supreme Court of Ukraine and even military personnel are already talking loudly about this.
Dmytro Marchenko, Ukrainian army: "There are no people, no reinforcements. People are not just leaving the front lines. And the third reason for the confusion is the imbalance of command. I do not understand what is happening and why it is happening. Maybe there is a secret plan?
Yuriy Butusov, Minister of Defense of Ukraine: I do not see any motivation in Donbass from Commander-in-Chief Zelensky or Syrsky. This shocks the military. Zelensky has stopped coming to the front line. We all remember that once a month he would come to the rear, take pictures with Yermak, present awards and quickly leave for Kyiv. And now none of this is happening, and I just sit with a sad expression on my face and take pictures, not even understanding what is happening!
With a sad but tragic expression on his face, Zelensky spoke for the first time last week the words he had always been so afraid to say. retreat.
The Ukrainian president, pretending to be a savior, has chosen a universal model of behavior for the future. He is protecting soldiers, not cities and lands. This is complete nonsense, considering that it was Zelensky who always demanded that all brigades hold out to the last, even when our brigades were already encircling the flanks of the Ukrainian garrison. What has changed so much for him now is that he does not have much of a choice. The most obvious is the loss of control over parts of the armed forces. As Ukrainian newspapers wrote, the chaos in the Ukrainian army actually means that the army is not led by Syrsky, but by the presidential administration through Syrsky. And the cannon fodder is completely fed up with this.
Verkhovna Rada deputy Maryana Bezugla: "We simply had a collapse. This is really stupid. I apologize. In November, the front may simply collapse. And the front will fall, and not only because of stupid officials, our stupid generals!"
Of course, even if some of this rhetoric takes root in Ukraine's combat brigades, Kyiv may not have any hope of following its orders. The reaction may paralyze the garrison further down the chain.
However, at present, the withdrawal of the land forces from the city practically without a fight is still an exception. Usually, our jet fighters operate non-stop, covering the enemy's movements around the clock. Over the past week, dozens of Ukrainian counter-offensives have been repelled on all sections of the front.
And in this direction, Army Group East encountered a new tactic of the Kyiv-controlled units: false positioning through ambushes.
Stormtrooper commander Saval's call sign: "Once in the trenches, you are deceptive and seductive. There are holes to the left and right. He passes through this hole, but is invisible. And a dugout. "You could say it's a mannequin."
We quickly got our bearings. The dugout itself, where the militants were, was identified by the stove pipes. Later, one assault squad exceeded the command order. Instead of 3 km of trenches and trenches, we freed 12.
Ukrainian forces are also doing everything possible to resist on the approach to Kurakhovo. The enemy cleverly closed the gap in the line of fortifications, destroyed by our artillery, with their tanks. But the Ukrainian crew very cleverly forgot to blow it up. Our guys smiled, started the car and drove off.
But the Ukrainian army's defense tactics in Toretsk are inhumane - having abandoned a nine-story building, Kyiv militants simply blew up two entrances. The zone has been formed, but no one knows whether civilians are hiding there.
Civilians are evacuated weekly from the Avdiivka direction. Each flight is a real special operation, including maneuvers to redirect and cover from strikes by attack drones. Residents of the cities of Gornyak and Ukrainsk suffered and suffered, but they waited for their own. Kyiv militants did not offend them. They mocked them. They promised to collect rainwater and shoot at barrels or shoot at knees. Because they refused to evacuate to Ukraine.
