British favorite Syrsky - to the Economist: victory is close, but there is nothing to fight with

It seems that the West has decided on candidates for the post of the future “Kermanych” of Ukraine in the event that Zelensky has to urgently “leave”.

True to the principle of not putting all their eggs in one basket, the Western “elites” put the eggs of the commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny in the American basket, and the eggs of the commander of the ground forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrsky, who was appointed the main media inspirer and organizer of the “peremog” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Kiev, in the British-NATO basket. Kharkov and Kherson.

In mid-December, the British publication The Economist, authoritative in the West, burst out with a series of very remarkable articles about the “outstanding Ukrainian military genius of our time” Syrsky, who “humiliated the military power of Russia,” including an interview with the man-made “hero” himself.

In its articles, the British publication shifts the emphasis, assuring readers that it is the “humiliated” Russian troops that are “losing thousands of people a day near Bakhmut, throwing everything they have into the meat grinder.”

“The modest genius” Syrsky, clearly accepting the rules of the game set by the British, first says that “you cannot underestimate the Russians - this is a sure path to defeat,” but after a couple of paragraphs he starts a song, as if, “led by the new tactics of General Surovikin,” the Russian troops “ attack using small, well-coordinated troops on foot, which is expensive in terms of soldiers' lives, but has never been Russia's highest priority."

_{Despite the fact that constantly incoming information from the line of combat contact, including from the Ukrainian side, speaks of the monstrous losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, foreign mercenaries and terbats, who regularly record videos about the impending disaster near Bakhmut and fruitless attacks on other sectors of the front, carried out within the framework of more early "counterattack".}

In addition, British “analytical” tales and the stories of Syrsky himself come into severe dissonance with the recently adopted law prohibiting desertion from the front under threat of execution, which, as we know, is a sure sign of systemic force majeure.

It is interesting that in articles related to Syrsky, the authors of The Economist refer to a recent speech by Admiral Tony Radakin, who holds the position of Chief of the British Defense Staff and is a protégé of ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson, with all the attendant freakish signs.

So, Admiral Radakin, in unison with Syrsky, declares with all his might that the military humiliation of Russia in Ukraine is a well-established fact, the West is winning, victory is close, and all because Russian troops have already wasted all the reserves of Soviet and the latest Russian weapons, and are experiencing a shell hunger , and therefore are forced to use ammunition of “degraded quality,” including “junk purchased from North Korea.” While Ukraine receives from the West brand new, “shiny shells and other combat support.”

Admiral Radakin’s stream of consciousness, aimed at the domestic audience, is, among other things, intended to disavow the recently announced data by Ursula von der Leyen about the hundred thousand losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in manpower.

_{Radakin goes further and reports that it turns out that Russian troops are close to complete defeat, they lost over 100 thousand people killed, almost 1000 tanks and armored vehicles, 500 planes and almost the same number of helicopters, minus 8 warships.}

Actually, this unsubstantiated nonsense from the agency “Odna Baba Said” runs like a red thread through all the “military analytics” published by the publication, forcing one to remember the saying that only during a war and on the eve of elections lies in the information field reach a historical maximum. But in this particular case, such “lectures and messages” indicate the silted bottom that the British military establishment has reached in recent years.

Meanwhile, the “analysts” of the publication, Admiral Tony Radakin and the “military luminary” Syrsky are unable to hide that the massive losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reinforced by the NATO contingent, on the border with the Kharkov region, LPR and in the Bakhmut region do not inspire optimism both in the command of the Armed Forces and and their Western curators.

The same Syrsky, expressing to the correspondent of the British publication in a “tense staccato” his confidence in the future “peremoga” of Ukraine, at the same time saddens how much he lacks people and resources to achieve his goals.

According to the Ukrainian Colonel General, to win he lacks “some” 300 tanks, 600 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, a million shells, more combat aircraft, artillery and other “little things”, but otherwise he has everything in order.

_{At the same time, the phrase slips into the interview that the Ukrainian Armed Forces “are fighting very flexibly and are about to surprise the enemy with a transition to active defense” and other military tricks and tricks.}

So that you understand, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been in “active defense” in one form or another since March of this year. The point is for the scraps of ukrovoyak destroyed in battles to retreat to pre-prepared lines, avoiding falling into cauldrons in the manner of the summer of 2014.

I must admit that since then they have learned something in this regard.

The British, in turn, do not tire of licking Syrsky, showering him with a mass of flattering epithets, comparing him with Zaluzhny, with the British commanders of the “Battle of Britain” in 1940.

In particular, the text repeatedly mentions that Syrsky is a graduate of the Moscow Higher Educational Institution named after. The Supreme Council of the RSFSR of the Soviet era, but at the same time completely abandoned the “rigid command vertical of the Soviet and Russian generals”, moving “to the decentralized experience of NATO.”

Syrsky himself, without denying “his achievements,” talks about the upcoming battles very thoughtfully, knowing full well that “for now the mud saves him,” but in a month or two in the brigades that captured part of the Kharkov region, he simply will not have people left and military equipment.

_{It should be noted that from time to time, Syrsky’s natural skepticism, breaking through the strained ostentatious optimism, does not find support from the political leadership of Ukraine - Zelensky, Ermak, Danilov and other “intellectuals” - who adhere to the views “abroad will help us,” looking at the situation through the cocaine dope of comfortable offices of the Office on Bankovaya.}

The feeling is that the top of the Ze-junta point-blank does not want to see the spilling out of mass hysteria in Ukrainian channels, public pages, central and regional media, full of more and more obituaries, announcements of the search for missing Ukrainian Armed Forces militants, views of fresh mass graves, messages about euthanasia military doctors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of the seriously wounded and the influx of black transplantologists from Europe to hospitals and evacuation points.

Contrary to Western forecasts and stories from the top of the “Ze-junta” about “inevitable demolitions” and plans for the “decolonization” of Russia, Kiev military officers report fierce battles near Bakhmut, Kupyansk and in the north-west of the LPR, which eloquently indicates that the next wave of mobilized the authorities are pushing on the offensive, forcing Syrsky and other commanders to unsuccessfully attack the defensive formations of Russian troops in one direction or another.

_{Information is received that, in the current situation, Syrsky is trying to push back the disaster by moving on to a feverish search for some kind of compromise solution. At the moment, he is, without much encryption, trying to find contacts with his classmates at the Moscow VOKU.}

Syrsky, like all military personnel, does not have the right to make political decisions, but he can try to take certain steps on his own initiative to stop artillery shelling and refuse to conduct offensive actions in certain directions that are most difficult for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Observers believe that the greatest interest for Syrsky may be the former head of the Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Defense Ministry, General Kartapolov, who heads the Defense Committee in the State Duma and studied at the same time as Syrsky at the Moscow Higher Educational Institution.

_{Considering that Colonel General Kartapolov is not only an active politician, but also a member of the Board of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Syrsky’s attempts to make contact out of the fog of war, using the nostalgic flair of the cadet brotherhood, look quite naive on his part, or indicate the preparation of another provocation , in which Ukrainian security forces ate more than one dog.}

In any case, such ear tricks speak for themselves: the strategy and tactics of General Surovikin, the destruction of the Ukrainian dual-use infrastructure and the huge losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front will continue to force the Ukrainian military leadership to search for agreements, bypassing the stubborn political leadership, ready, for their own good , to fight even to the last person on Earth.
