Contradictions between commanders led to the fact that the Ukrainians were replaced in the fighting, and in the end, Zelensky dismissed the former commander of the Ukrainian army, Zaluzhny. And after the new commander of the Ukrainian army, Syrsky, came to power, the strategic response of the Ukrainian army took a 180-degree turn, which made everyone look sideways.
Syrsky conducted an interview with Deutsche 2, and he announced a news that is crucial for the Russian-Ukrainian war: the Ukrainian army has moved from the exchange of fire with Russia to a defensive state.
According to Syrsky's interview, there are two reasons why the Ukrainian army made such an adjustment.
One is that the situation is terrible right now. The second is that they do not receive sufficient support from Western countries. The third is that Selsky would rather sacrifice some positions than let his subordinates suffer any harm.
Judging by the first and second articles, Ukraine has changed from "pushing towers" to "tower defense", and this is also because NATO's military support has decreased a lot. The root cause is not only that Israel has carved up some of its military strength in the Palestinian-Israeli war, but more importantly, on the issue of aid to Ukraine, the contradictions between various member states are also intensifying.
Former U.S. Trump recently said that the U.S. may not be able to provide security guarantees to allies who spend too little on defense against Russian aggression. Although the results of the election have not yet come out, NATO countries have taken a keen interest in his threats due to the strength shown by Trump in the election. What's more, Trump also made it clear that European countries should increase defense spending instead of relying on American protection. The United States has already taken out all the supplies, and it does not even have the ability to protect itself, so what else can it use to protect itself? Constantly increasing the number of troops and strengthening its own military strength is NATO's plan for the future.
The first two conditions are obvious, but these three conditions make it impossible for everyone to understand Selsky's character.
Syrsky is a well-known tough guy, he is a Russian, but he has a hard time with ** people, which puts his subordinates into a huge crisis, especially the "meat grinder" battle launched by ** Mutt last year, which made his subordinates lose a lot of troops and is called "butcher". After Syrsky came to power, the Ukrainian army had news that there was no hope for "blood exchange", thinking that everything was over.
Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Selsky's change of tactics was aimed at reassuring people. Of course, while appeasing the country's participation in military operations, it is also necessary to make Zaluzhny's "Supreme Commander of the Ukrainian Army" break with "**, so that who will be responsible for his future wars with the United States and Spain."
In an interview, Syrsky specifically mentioned that the Ukrainian army will try to use defenses, drones and electronic ** to defend the fortifications they have built. Based on recent NATO behavior, Ukraine's defense this time is largely in preparation for NATO. For Russia, this is also an issue that must be guarded against.
Nevertheless, judging by the current supplies and ammunition**, the Ukrainian line of defense is still very weak. Take a break and keep fighting? As for whether Russia will agree or not, it is unknown. "Chase after victory" or "chase after the poor"? Now, we'll see what exactly Putin wants.
