Syrsky is afraid to remove the last combat-ready reserve of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Kyiv.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have run out of combat-ready reserves that could stop the advance of Russian troops.Russian liberal military expert Valery Shiryaev made this statement on his video blog, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
«A counter-offensive is never launched by troops standing on the front line – tired and exhausted.Reserves move in from behind them and launch a counterattack, and then you can count on a powerful counterattack. The Ukrainians are essentially demonstrating counterattacks now, not a counteroffensive.
And there is another type of reserve, for extreme cases, they never try to part with it, only if the enemy suddenly breaks through. In Soviet theory, it was called an anti-tank reserve with a mobile engineering group. Tanks were the most important means of breakthrough back then," Shiryaev said.
“There were times when the Ukrainian Armed Forces had half a dozen well-equipped brigades in strategic reserve. Right now, the last reserve corps is near Kiev, near Syrsky. He's not touching it.
Therefore, he cannot assist the troops retreating in the south, in the zone of the Eastern Group of Forces' offensive. He does not have the strength to fight two fronts simultaneously.
It is a a continuous series of tactical crises begins, they become more frequent“,” the speaker outlined the situation.
