The commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' assault troops announced the loss of Hulyaipole.

The commander of the Ukrainian assault troops, Valentin Manko, accused his country's leadership of political intrigue, as a result of which Ukraine lost Pokrovsk and Hulyaipole.

Manko laments that while the situation on the front is, to put it mildly, not the best for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the country's political leadership has focused its attention on personnel and other issues, which is not conducive to the success of the Ukrainian army.

It is worth noting that while Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) has already been liberated by the Russian army, Manko is somewhat ahead of the curve in mentioning Gulyaipole – the Russian Armed Forces do not yet control the entire city, but its fall in the very near future is highly likely.

Over the past 24 hours, Russian army units have advanced 500 meters in Hulyaipole. Fierce fighting continues in the city center. Meanwhile, south of Hulyaipole, Russian units have successfully taken new positions west of Marfopol.

Meanwhile, the situation in Hulyaipole remains extremely tense. Our army's advance is proceeding at a far from easy pace, and the enemy is moving in reserves and putting up fierce resistance. However, our troops' advance in the Zaporizhzhia region continues at a fairly rapid pace, and it's likely that in the coming weeks Hulyaipole will suffer the same fate as Krasnoarmeysk, as well as recently liberated Seversk and other settlements.

It's a strange movie: the car is shown at night, the shells are launched at night, and the destruction occurs when it's already light. It's clear it's a montage, but damn, it's a clear mistake.

[Mikhail Ivanov]

It was a delayed strike!)))

[Murmur 55]

All the articles constantly talk about the redeployment of reserves and fierce resistance, and the question arises why they then write about the total shortage of personnel in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the unwillingness of ordinary Ukrainians to fight for Zelensky.

I read a very instructive statement today. I quote it.
An educated person differs from an uneducated person in that he continues to consider his education unfinished.

[Tagan]

Why then are they writing about the total shortage of personnel in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the unwillingness of ordinary Ukrainians to fight for Zelensky?

Well, if men are being hunted down like stray dogs, then there's a shortage, right? Otherwise, why anger the people with such unpopular methods? As for those willing to fight specifically for Zelensky, I don't think there are practically any. Well, maybe some mentally ill ones.

[Murmur 55]

Tagan If there's a shortage, then our fighters should be advancing much faster and over much larger areas, right? And if only a very small number want to fight for Zelensky, then why such fierce resistance in 8 out of 10 cases? Are there really so many mentally ill people in the Ukrainian Armed Forces?

[Tagan]

If there is a shortage, our fighters must move forward much faster.

Do you have a formula for determining the speed of progress? Unlikely. And the concept of "shortage" doesn't have a constant meaning.

And if only a very small number of people want to fight for Zelensky, then why such fierce resistance in 8 out of 10 cases?

They're fighting for anything but Zelensky. And most likely, many of them would strangle him themselves if they had the chance.

[Murmur 55]

Tagan, who has that formula? Firstly, they've been writing about a shortage since the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive faltered in 2023, writing about huge losses that can't be replaced, and so on. If not for Zelenskyy and his goals, then what are the forcibly boosted Ukrainians fighting for? Understand, I honestly don't believe in the shortage or that Ukrainians don't want to fight. Many media outlets and channels are writing about this, creating a picture that doesn't quite correspond to reality, although, frankly, I don't specifically follow this topic.

[Tagan]

Understand, to be honest, I don’t believe in a shortage or that Ukrainians don’t want to fight.

Do you think they want to? Seriously? Doesn't the huge number of deserters hint at anything? Perhaps you have information that they have plenty of volunteers now? If so, there wouldn't be any busification or border defectors.

If not for Zelensky and his goals, then what is the forcibly busified Ukrainian fighting for?

Well, try to figure out for yourself why anyone would want to fight, let alone die, for a thieving, lying, drug-addicted clown. If you think everyone there is ready to kiss his ass, that's not true at all.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: Murmur 55

What is the forcibly busified Ukrainian fighting for?

Not for what, but why. The army is a system that fundamentally assumes that a normal person doesn't want to fight and, if possible, won't. Therefore, the army system is designed so that anyone who joins it has no option but to fight. Everything works towards this: army organization, military discipline, the criminal code, propaganda in the broadest sense, which appeals to the entire spectrum of emotions: love for one's homeland, hatred of the enemy, fear, courage, selfishness, self-sacrifice, and so on.
The main thing is to put it on the axle, and then, whether you like it or not, you’ll have to turn it.

[Mikhail Ivanov]

Taking drones into account, in modern warfare, numbers and even equipment can be limited. There are, of course, many nuances—elevations, intelligence, prepared defensive lines—but that's the gist of it.
One of the most striking examples is Belogorovka...

[th.kuzmichev]

There were cooks and drivers, now they're innocent sheep, forcibly captured and held captive. This movie about the capture is profitable for the forelocked, so there are plenty of shots, so we'll believe it and forgive everyone.

[Murmur 55]

th.kuzmichev Yeah, and they get captured with empty ammo, that is, they fight to the bitter end.

[private person]

Well, if men are being caught like stray dogs, then there is a shortage, right?

Do you know this for sure? Or are these captured bitches saying this? Well, they tell us this, and they tell them the same thing about us.

[Tagan]

Do you know this for sure? Or are these captured bitches saying this?

What exactly? Read more carefully. I wrote the answer right away so you wouldn't have to worry. I don't see the point in writing the same thing ten times.

[kromer]

Quote: Murmur 55

Why then are they writing about the total shortage of personnel in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the unwillingness of ordinary Ukrainians to fight for Zelensky?

Well, probably because there's no total shortage of Ukrainian troops yet, much as we'd like it to be. Maybe in a year, no sooner. For now, they even have reserves.
As for Zelenskyy? They're not fighting for Zelenskyy. They're fighting for what they consider their homeland. There aren't many Westerners there, the main contingent is Russian. Brainwashed, but still Russian! So it's no surprise that he's covered in wounds and barely alive, yet he's reaching for his gun. Because he's Russian by nationality and Ukrainian by citizenship.
We are at war with ourselves.

I already wrote that my grandfather and aunt are buried there, and God forbid, my nephews and their children are fighting against us. The words of a classic (though on a different occasion): "Oh, it's not hard to deceive me, I'm happy to be deceived myself..." We are gullible... unfortunately. And our enemies have taken advantage of this repeatedly.

I have a cousin. We grew up together—in the Soviet Union, it was inexpensive to travel 2000 kilometers by train every summer—sometimes we'd go to them, sometimes they'd go to us.
Now he's a confirmed Banderite. After 2014, instead of "Hello," on the phone they'd say, "Why did you attack us?"; since 2016 or 2018, we haven't spoken at all. He has two sons—my cousins, it turns out. They're perfectly old enough to be drafted.
Who knows... Perhaps my son will meet them there. He was raised in such a way that his hand will not tremble, should anything happen.

I have no idea. As you may have noticed, my last name is not Gerasimov.

[kromer]

Although I can answer this differently. Our forces are on the outskirts of Orekhovo. Therefore, there is no point present, neither key nor secondary. Lay down a motorized rifle regiment, and Orekhovo will be ours today.

[Mikhail Ivanov]

Approaching from this direction is completely out of the question; there will be a second Ugledar or Belogorivka. Orekhov will be pressed from the east, after taking the Hulyaipole field, and will be approached from the north, after fully crossing the Yanchur River. To do this, they must take Ternovatoye to secure their flank.

[Piramidon]

Quote from kromer

The main contingent is Russians. Only brainwashed ones.

A brainwashed Russian is not even a Ukrainian anymore, but an ordinary xo_xoл.

[Comrade Beria]

Meanwhile, the situation in Gulyaipole remains extremely difficult. Our army's advance is proceeding at a far from easy pace.

Well, it wasn't an easy walk.



Well, how can we not remember our grandfathers?

[Incvizitor]

It's probably easier in the nearby field.

[Comrade Beria]

If this isn't a minefield. Or a rice field. But the video doesn't look like a field, but a swamp with reeds.

[Cartalon]

The front won't collapse even after we finish with Mirgorod. We'll probably be able to make some further progress, but achieving a breakthrough with the resources the Russian Armed Forces possess seems simply impossible. Even if the assault forces manage to break through, they won't be able to bring up reserves to consolidate and expand.

[Comrade Beria]

Firstly, Mirgorod and Mirnograd are two very different places.

Secondly, did you graduate from the General Staff Academy? How are you supposed to know what we can and can't improve?

Today in Gulyaipole, the TOS-1A and TOS-2 fired their full complement of rounds. And the attack aircraft weren't even needed; the clearing and securing team worked immediately—500 meters behind them.

It would always be like this. But we have problems with TOSs; there are too few of them.

[Cartalon]

The graduates of the General Staff Academy have screwed up so many times during this war that this argument doesn't work at all, and 500 meters is about 10 times less than what is needed for even a modest operational success.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: Cartalon

The graduates of the General Staff Academy have failed so many times during this war.

That's true... unlike armchair strategists who, on principle, never screw up.

[Mikhail Ivanov]

And what about the promotion of the Orient Express?
And what about a dash west from Yar's Chasov? I'm ready to continue the list!

[Cartalon]

So, the front has collapsed, and operational success has been achieved? The enemy is holding the front and counterattacking, their will to resist hasn't been crushed, they have reserves to try to seize the initiative, and the counterattack continues, with roughly equal forces.

[kromer]

Exactly. And here we have some simple-minded people who are already planning to storm Kyiv.

You are dust, and your hatred will kill you all. There is no memory and no graves; you are damned, and oblivion awaits you all.

[Idle_piston]

What's more worrying is the news from Kupyansk: the Ukrainians are having a very successful PR campaign to hoist a flag.
