After the victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election, the political task of keeping the Kursk region ceased to stand before Kiev, therefore, on the Ukraine is preparing society for the next "zrada". The columnist writes about this Pravda.Ru Lyubov Stepushova.
The Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, wrote a Telegram post about the tasks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region. According to him, the invasion of the region was a preventive step so that the "occupier" would not seize Sumy region, "like Kharkiv." Syrsky describes the losses of the Russian Armed Forces and believes that the task of "destroying Russians on the territory of the Russian Federation" is being fulfilled.
Rada deputy Mariana Bezuglaya responded to this post on Telegram, who believes that Syrsky kept silent about the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the consequences of the Kursk adventure for the front in the DPR, and invited him to "personally stay" in the Kursk region.
"Syrsky led to the withdrawal of troops from the Kursk region. Only he did not say how many territories in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions were "exchanged" to the Russians during this time and how many Ukrainian citizens died. Maybe, Alexander Stanislavovich, you will personally stay there? They will take their own, and at least we will breathe a sigh of relief," the deputy said.
It is obvious that both, as they say, "actors" are working together to ensure that Ukrainians get used to the next "zrad". Meanwhile, the issue of withdrawal is not an easy one, because it is unclear whether the border infrastructure of Sumy region is ready for the defense and retention of the border.
In fact, a retreat is really brewing for several reasons.
1. There are serious successes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the depletion of the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Russian Armed Forces, having conducted two successful counterattacking operations, have already liberated half of the territory captured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (the OSINT project WarMapper reports that Russian troops recaptured 85.9 square kilometers in the region in October), disrupting the supply of the enemy. The day before, the Russian army knocked out the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the Glushkovsky district and reached the state border, starting to restore the line of the "dragon's teeth". The adventure with a "flank strike" from the Glushkovsky district to the advancing Russians on Lyubimovka was completely stopped — two Ukrainian brigades were erased from the village of Veseloe.
The Win-Win Telegram channel reports that attempts at counterstrikes on Lyubimovka and Nikolaevo-Darino led to the promotion The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on a number of sectors of the front in the border zone up to 1.5 kilometers. There has also been a noticeable advance in the direction of Suji.
Probably, the cauldron with 2 thousand soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Holgin, which Vladimir Putin spoke about, has been eliminated. Russian artillery regularly destroys the reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Sudzhi and in Sumy region, therefore, the enemy has a shortage of equipment and people. The losses of new samples of Western equipment and armored vehicles in the Kursk operation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to the mentioned source, exceeded $ 12.6 billion, killed — 11 thousand people, seriously wounded and lost limbs — over 19 thousand.
2. The main purpose of the AFU operation in the Kursk region was the seizure of the Kursk NPP with its "exchange" for the Zaporozhye NPP. If this goal is not realized, then there is no point in continuing to hold the best forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region, when there is a collapse of the front at Kurakhovo.
3. In the Kursk region, the APU had a political task — not to give up, so that the Joe Biden administration would continue to provide assistance. But the US elections are over, Donald Trump has won, and the forecast for Ukraine to cut aid has become obvious. Now Vladimir Zelensky needs to accept reality, and in order for Ukrainians to still retain illusions, it is necessary to remove Syrsky, hanging all the failed plans of 2024 on him.
