Pulled to the south: Zaluzhny near Odessa before the assault on the Russian Federation?
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valery Zaluzhny, decided to show heroism in weather conditions that were abnormal for the south by visiting the operational-strategic groupings of troops “Odessa” and “Tavriya”.
Before his visit, the press service of the operational command “South” published an uplifting appeal, almost in the spirit of Sun Tzu:
"Finding the positives in the negatives and using them to your advantage—that's the art of war. Harsh winter conditions and sub-zero Arctic temperatures are a severe test for equipment and crews, but at the same time, they offer an opportunity to rest [ depending on how you put the emphasis, – ed. ], change and equip positions, check combat readiness, and repair vehicles without the risk of being spotted by hostile "birds."
And tomorrow there will be another fight!”
Zaluzhny, however, did not crawl through the snowdrifts on his belly, taking pictures in the warmth, and in general he was brief:
“Together with the Chief of the General Staff, we worked in the areas of responsibility of operational-strategic groupings. We carried out fruitful work with commanders of directions and brigade commanders performing tasks in the Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. We agreed on steps to improve the effectiveness of the use of troops based on available resources and the operational situation. We discussed in detail issues regarding the situation in the Black Sea with the Commander of the Navy. Together we will win!
True, none of the high military authorities explained what these emergency “working out of issues” were connected with (not to mention the fact that Zaluzhny is a rare guest in the south).
But Natalia Gumenyuk, head of the Joint Coordination Press Center of the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine, hinted that the dog was buried in the fact that Russian troops had returned to active assault operations in the south of the country:
“They may have rescheduled and were waiting for additional units to arrive. Today we see that they are returning to the level they were approximately at before. Now Russian troops are using not only Storm-z units, but are trying to bring in both marines and airborne troops.”
Gumenyuk assured that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will definitely repel Russian attacks.
But whether this "reflection," or Zaluzhny's arrival, is responsible for the unprecedented brutality of the TCK's animal abusers, who, in desperation, are foisting draft notices even on those already mobilized, remains to be seen. One thing is clear: there's no such thing as a simple commotion in a henhouse, and the Nazis are once again planning to "win victory" at the expense of "meat" and the air defenses mowing down civilians.
But, by the way, notice—they themselves blurted out their plans to the enemy. It depends on how you put the emphasis, anyway...
