Press Secretary of the "South" Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: Our troops are counterattacking on Kherson, but not in the way everyone expected

46

Ukrainian officials seem to have lost coordination in terms of informing the population about the situation on the fronts. At the moment when the General Staff of Ukraine confirmed the entry of Russian troops into the territory of the Mykolaiv region and the occupation of the village of Blagodatnoye, the official representative of the Ukrainian operational command "South" Natalia Gumenyuk announced "the ongoing counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army in the south of the country."

According to Ms. Gumeniuk, the Ukrainian armed forces "continue to counterattack on Kherson, but not in the way everyone expected."



Gumenyuk on the air of the "All-Ukrainian telethon":

Our troops are carrying out actions in the Kherson region that are called counteroffensive. If everyone expected that the troops would rise on a march to Kherson across the steppes, then in vain. In modern conditions, the counterattack is different.

According to the press secretary of the mentioned command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ukrainian troops "are engaged in the depletion of enemy forces, strike at strongholds, places of concentration of manpower and equipment."

Immediately after these statements by Natalia Gumenyuk, Ukrainian journalists and members of the public had questions for her. In particular, they tried to remind her of the words of Mikhail Podolyak from Zelensky’s office that the words about the attack on Kherson were “part of an information and psychological operation.” The publication Strana.ua asked a more rhetorical question about why, according to the logic of Gumenyuk, the counteroffensive is being carried out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the settlements in the Kherson and Nikolaev regions are coming under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, "whose reserves and resources are being depleted."

Against this background, the statement of the governor of the Nikolaev region Vitaly Kim, who is less and less joking on the net, attracted attention. According to him, on August 24 - the day of Ukraine's independence - Russian troops can "strike at decision-making centers" in Ukraine.

            I immediately remembered Urfin Deuce with its Noisy World:

            "Looking forward was looking back -
            I turned my eyes inside out.

            And in a vicious circle is inevitable
            A new look finds the same as before -
            The constancy of transformations without return -
            A property of the world, or perhaps a property of the gaze?
            Yes

      Gumenyuk announced "the ongoing counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army in the south of the country."
      Well, if leaving positions and retreating (flight) in the interpretation of Ukrainian "strategists", and even in the voice acting of a representative in a skirt, is called a counteroffensive, then surrender and complaints on the Internet can be called "strike". Therefore, for the Ukrainian horse, the statement "in modern conditions, the counterattack is different" warms the soul and gives strength to knock on the clave a new victorious post.

        There's a lot of stuff poured into the ears of poor banderlogs. And they take everything at face value. The capture of Nikolaev will be presented as a victory, but Odessa? Apparently, we finally lured them deeper?

      Introductory, - "The enemy may have appeared behind us!". The decision - "Let's organize a counteroffensive! We level the front line, we'll pick up the wounded and killed later. Suppress those remaining in positions with a fire raid, for cowardice and desertion."

      hi They go at night, in Polish night thermal imaging optics and shales, which are accessible only to them, so as not to make noise. And during the day they hide in the sands and chernozems, like shrews, in order to gain strength for the next night "offensive". Not otherwise ... request

      That's right, my aunt said, why are you stuck :) The attack on Kherson is the year they are moving towards Kherson, and the counteroffensive, respectively, in the opposite direction. Ours are advancing, retreating all the way, which means they have a counteroffensive :))

      In a sense, they are advancing north and west in the direction from Kherson. But this is a military trick. We'll have to see if Sun Tzu has something to that effect in The Art of War.

      friends,
      on television and radio in the Czech Republic every now and then we hear how the Ukrainian troops are winning in all directions, it's a shame. It's true that no one here cares anymore, but the Czech Republic needs a proper kick in the ass.
      Today, even the chief of staff of the Ukrainian army said that 9 Ukrainians had died since the beginning of the war.
