Protrusion of no strategic importance" or how to explain the withdrawal of Russian troops from the north-east of the Kherson region
Today, Russian troops were forced to retreat from the north-east of the Kherson region. The objective reason is the inability of the existing troops to hold the defensive line due to
low staffing and
insufficient firepower.
We have already discussed
the reasons for this . They led to a logical result: the front
rolled back to the
Kostromka - Bruskinskoye - Borozenskoye - Mylovoe line . We do not even swear at the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense, whose head
did not say a word in today's summary
about this fact. We understand that those military command and control bodies that give the final text remain in their realm and do not care about how the official representative of the Ministry of Defense (and the department itself) looks in the eyes of the world community.
But at the level of public opinion leaders, Telegram channels and publics, they tried to give an explanation. It would be better if they didn't.
The most
stupid excuse that can be given for defeats on the battlefield is to say that some
"lands or footholds are not of strategic importance . "
We do not know who exactly
controls the Kherson.ruresource . We do not know who exactly put this
messagethere . To be honest, we sin against representatives of the defense department or retired people from there. But this is so, our idle conjectures.
To say that the Krivoy Rog sector of the front, which was occupied back in February-March, was a “suitcase without a handle” can be a very ... narrow-minded person. Not only is it part of the
Kherson region - the territory of the
Russian Federation - it is also relatively
convenient because of the Ingulets River in the west, covering the left flank, and the Dnieper River on the right flank.
The Kryvyi Rih sector of the front was
important for the development of the offensive against
Nikopol (in order to secure
Energodar ) and
Krivoy Rog as a symbol city (at least in the eyes of the local population, this is Zelensky's hometown).
Yes, the authors are right: now, at the cost of regroupings, time is redeemed in order to put new replenishments into operation. There will be a counteroffensive - if fundamental decisions are made to change tactics and strategy.
But in the battles in the north-east of the Kherson region, dozens of Russian soldiers laid down their lives, having gone into immortality. And now their comrades-in-arms are told that this is all for the sake of a "suitcase without a handle."
This is a spit in the soul of all the units that fought for months in
Arkhangelsk ,
Knyazevka ,
Olgino ,
Vysokopole ,
Potemkino ,
Novovoznesensk ,
Mirolyubovka ,
Petrovka ,
Zolotoy Balka .
You can never talk about this. It demoralizes the troops.This makes people lose faith that everything was not in vain.
