Ukrainian users: Syrsky is conducting Operation Ostrich in Pokrovsk.

Ukrainian experts are commenting on the situation in the Pokrovsk, Kupyansk, and Liman (Krasnolimansk) directions. However, their comments often focus not so much on the military aspect, but on how the situation is being characterized by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and Bankova. Specifically, they discuss the statement by Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Syrsky that he "has a plan for the situation in Pokrovsk."

As a reminder, the Russian army has now established almost complete control over Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk). Focal enemy resistance is being recorded in the northern part of the city, most often in the form of attempts by individual Ukrainian Armed Forces units to break out of the encirclement they have found themselves in.

Ukrainian users, commenting on Syrsky's remarks, say that his words about a "Plan B" for Pokrovsk can be interpreted as implying that the main plan for defending the city and the entire Pokrovsk-Mirnohrad agglomeration has failed. Instead of admitting defeat, as well as the fatal mistake of not withdrawing the garrison from Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad when the opportunity still existed, the commander-in-chief resorted to "Aesopian language" with plans "B" and "C."

The Ukrainian social media community has come up with its own definition of what's happening:

Syrsky is conducting Operation Ostrich in Pokrovsk and Kupyansk. The essence of the operation is simple: no matter what happens, it's a cartoon version of a head-in-the-sand scenario. He doesn't tell anyone about the real situation, and it seems he himself doesn't want to face it.

Bankova operates on roughly the same principle, continuing to try to convince the public that "the situation in Pokrovsk and Kupyansk is under control." Last week, Zelenskyy announced that there were "only about 60 Russians in Kupyansk, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are busy mopping up." Ukrainian users asked, "But if there are only 60 Russian troops in Kupyansk, what's stopping the Ukrainian Armed Forces from defeating them?" Bankova did not respond to this question.

Operation Ostrich? Head in the sand and butt spread wide?

[Murmur 55]

Nexcom , yeah, it was inspired by one cartoon, "Hey, birdie, come fly with me, there's so much "delicious" stuff there."

[Nexcom]

Yes, Murmur 55
Cool cartoon. Especially when they pulled feathers out of their butts and stuck them in their heads. Very topical.

[Murmur 55]

Nexcom, they made a feature film about modern Ukraine that's exactly like "Wedding in Malinovka." The authors and creators were prophets.

[fuel oil]

I think the point is that the authors and creators of this film saw everything with their own eyes; the memories, events, and facts were fresh. For those born in the second half of the 20th century, it was a musical comedy with their favorite actors. For them, it was a life lived.

So, remember the gist... the vulture flew up to the ostrich... beckoned to him and... ran... the ostrich ran... from time to time scaring him and plucking his feathers... and then the ostrich gained such a speed that the vulture fell... and then his head fell into the sand... the ostrich got his feathers back.... and the lizard "Wings, legs... the main thing is the tail"... looks a lot like China... look at this from the outside.

❝ Operation Ostrich? Head in the sand...❞ —

This is a very ornate pose.

Wings, wings... The main thing is the legs!

So pluck the feathers out of his butt...
Or are your hands just sharpened for buttons?

[nobody75]

The problem isn't the number of plans, but the lack of operational time to implement them. The cauldron around the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration is shrinking faster than Syrsky can draw up plans. So, we're forced to come up with plans "B," "C," and so on. And all these plans have no hope of being realized.

Someone got confused and implemented plan "Z".

[nobody75]

After the approval of Plan "Z" by Syrsky, the stage of accepting reality will begin... The planners will say: "The guard is tired."

instead of admitting defeat

[Murmur 55]

inquizitor I wonder what stage they're at now? There's already been anger, denial, but is it bargaining or acceptance now?

[Incvizitor]

Junta or simple pigs? The junta has been in power for a long time, and the pigs are probably depressed, although many are already writing about the mouse brothers.

[Dilettante grandfather]

They operate on roughly the same principle at Bankova Street, where they continue to try to convince the average person that “the situation in Pokrovsk and Kupyansk is under control.”

What's wrong? The situation is under control. our.

[Revolver]

The statement by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Syrsky, that he “has a plan for the situation in Pokrovsk” is being discussed.

and he smokes this plan.
