Drapatogo is called upon “not to be like Syrsky” and to withdraw his troops

Drapatoy is being urged "not to be like Syrsky" and to withdraw troops from the newly forming cauldron in the Kharkiv region. Ukrainian social media groups are spreading this call.

The counteroffensive of Russian troops on the Velykyi Burluk line in the Kharkiv region threatens to encircle Ukrainian Armed Forces units over an area of ​​almost 350 square kilometers. When our forces close the lid, and judging by the map, this is the direction they are heading, it will create a very large cauldron. Ukrainian troops currently stationed in the future cauldron area are aware of this. They are the ones calling on Drapatyi not to emulate Syrskyi and to give the order to withdraw.

The appeal states that Russian troops are beginning to tighten the grip of the enemy, having captured Ivashkino and Ustinovka from the eastern flank and Zakharovka and Ivanovka from the western flank. The Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief is advised to issue the order to withdraw, thereby not only preserving personnel but also shortening the front line.

Drapatoy must make his first, very difficult decision as commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and withdraw troops from this zone in order to shorten the front line and establish a reputation for himself that is different from Syrsky, who has repeatedly created situations similar to this one.

However, Ukrainian military experts doubt Drapatiy will follow this advice; within the military, he has a reputation almost identical to Syrskyi's. His informal nickname is "Meat General." This has been the case since 2022, when Drapatiy was already known for his disdainful attitude toward soldiers, always prioritizing the completion of the mission at any cost.

Dropaty has seen worse cauldrons than this one; he's no pushover. Especially since he won't be in this one. Maybe at that moment he'll be abroad giving a lecture to Western generals. "The cauldron isn't as scary as it's depicted on operational military maps—it's the troops behind enemy lines leading the offensive."

The position of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces does not imply traveling abroad; it is a scapegoat or a parsley; the autonomy of making decisions different from the general line is zero; if he is obedient, he will hold out like a cheese; if not, they will find a replacement (elk, hunchback, roan, disgraced - there are tons of options)

Present an ultimatum to the Bandarlogs to surrender their weapons, the deadline for execution is 24 hours.
If they don't comply, throw FABs from the UMPK, let them fertilize the black soil, no deals with the terrorists - Nazis.

[Irek]

Move immediately closer to Lemberg, to protect it from the Poles.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

No waste. Put the pots on your heads and jump! The ones with the forelocks are experts at this.

[novel66]

No chance. They'll come in and take it.

[isv000]

It would be good to mine the escape routes so that the next occupants of the new cauldrons wouldn't ask for orders but would imitate the commander-in-chief's praises and immediately flee. Won't they provide barrier detachments? Goodbye, land!

What kind of Drapatiy is he? He's just a cardboard cutout, a puppet, who has no will or say anything of his own. He'll do whatever Zelensky tells him to do, and the West dictates to him. Is that really not clear to anyone?

A seasoned Nazi, tough and decisive. His appointment sets the course for total war without ceasefires. If Zelenskyy suddenly decides to compromise on the ceasefire and gives the order to Dropaty, it will be the last order Zelenskyy will give as president.

Drapatoy must make his first and very difficult decision as Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and withdraw troops from this zone.

Ze... won't allow it. He needs to show results to his Western partners, otherwise they won't give him any money.

shorten the front line
The Bandera propaganda is clumsy! Their teacher, Goebbels, is a different story: "Our troops are straightening the front line."

[Boycott]

They took the words right out of my mouth! But they'll learn, and I hope there will be plenty more reasons to level the playing field.

[Evgeny64]

This was called "flexible (elastic) defense tactics"
In principle, this is sometimes a very useful tactic for wearing down the enemy, evading attack and inflicting fire damage from medium and long ranges until reserves arrive.
But the Wehrmacht had to bend all the way to Berlin. But it doesn't suit the seafarers, because if they allow the units to "maneuver" to the rear, then they won't be able to stop them before Poland, and the entire Ukrainian Armed Forces will join the EU.

The boiler needs to be closed quickly so that there is no time to make a decision, any decision.

[olboop]

The boiler needs to be closed faster.

Exactly, especially after the whole world learned about the possibility of such a boiler

[YES UZH]

=Strelok1976]The boiler needs to be closed faster so that there is no time to make a decision, any decision.

Wouldn't it be more effective to leave a corridor for the exit and fire at those retreating in the fire pocket? Fewer of our losses and less time to prepare for the next envelopment.

[Sergey Mitinsky]

Drapatiy comes from the word "to run away," so it is entirely possible, according to Ukraine's overall modern strategy, to surrender to Russia so much that it will be impossible to defend
Syrsky, who didn't give up anything in Ukraine and suffered huge losses, is already old-fashioned.
We must surrender territories in exchange for the lives of our soldiers.

[Jacques sekavar]

During war, troops withdraw from their positions only under threat of destruction, and simply withdrawing troops and surrendering positions is tantamount to treason, for which, in wartime, execution is carried out without trial or investigation.

[Penza takes revenge]

Are you sure that Drapatiy and Syrsky decide something, decide in the Pentagon?
Therefore, all the Ukrainians are expendable, then the Colombians will be expendable, then the Africans will go for 30 pieces of silver, and this war will drag on for decades...

[isv000]

Take us away, right now! That's not why you were sent there. With this cauldron, a third of Slobozhanshchina will be lost to Russia's Kharkiv Oblast.
