'Bout goddam time.
[REGNUM] The 721st day of the special military operation (SVO) is marked by the statement of the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, about the transition from offensive attempts to defensive actions with the Russian Armed Forces. According to him, quoted by the German TV channel ZDF, everything is “very bad” at the front of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
In the face of a lack of military assistance from Western allies, Syrsky, according to him, is ready to leave “any position”, but save the personnel of the troops. In defense, Ukrainian troops intend to use drones, fortifications and equipment, which, according to the commander-in-chief, is sorely lacking. Speaking about the shortage of weapons, Syrsky recalled that any barrel needs to be changed after it fires a certain number of shells.
Meanwhile, in the Kupyansk direction of the front, the rear positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were hit by crews of the Uragan multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) of the Western Group of Russian Forces, destroying the enemy’s fortifications and ammunition depot. According to the Ministry of Defense, aerial reconnaissance helped detect the systematic movements of militant groups, heavy equipment and a large number of Ukrainian Armed Forces trucks.
The defense department also reported on the successes of the air defense and electronic warfare units of the Southern Group of Forces. Over the past 24 hours alone, on February 13, 39 enemy drones were shot down in the areas of the settlements of Kremenets, Aleksandrovka, Kleshcheevka, Mezhevoye in the Donetsk People's Republic.
Details are in the IA Regnum broadcast.

Expert Leonkov: the commander in chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine gave a signal to Western curators
With his statement about the transition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to defense, the new commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Alexander Syrsky, sent a signal to Western curators that all their demands had been taken into account. Military expert Alexey Leonkov expressed this opinion to a Regnum correspondent on February 14.
“Syrsky signaled to the curators that all their demands had been taken into account, that is, the Armed Forces of Ukraine would defend themselves, take care of personnel, and establish logistics routes. In general, they will do everything as the owner wishes,” the military expert noted.
He also drew attention to the fact that Syrsky’s words would be at odds with local deeds. The issue of receiving information from the field will probably be one of the most closed issues in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so that unnecessary rubbish does not reach the ears of those who help Ukraine, supply weapons and military equipment, Leonkov suggested.
At the same time, he asked what kind of defense Syrsky was talking about. The expert recalled that, for example, the defense of Avdeevka is a political, not a military decision, since there is no point in turning this settlement into another meat grinder, which was, for example, near Artyomovsk. At the same time, an information campaign that, they say, Ukraine is fighting and bleeding for a free democratic Europe and the United States is such an information feed that can be exaggerated in the media for a very long time.
The military expert noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will hold on to the boundaries that they have. They will conduct a so-called active defense, but not in the classical sense of the art of war, when several defensive lines are built to contain superior forces.
“The Armed Forces of Ukraine from fortified areas, which are built according to the rules of Western tactics, will carry out attacks in groups. We also need to prepare for provocations against the Bryansk and Belgorod regions. The Ukrainian Armed Forces will attempt to capture populated areas. That is, this is how they will actively work to dispose of their own personnel,” Leonkov noted.
He added that the Russian Armed Forces are now actively defending, the enemy continues to attack, but the quantity and quality of his attacks has decreased.
The expert drew attention to the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are also trying to respond to attacks by the Russian Armed Forces, urgently transferring units and equipment from one end of the combat line to the other. At the same time, the strategic initiative is on the side of the Russian army, he emphasized.
As reported by IA Regnum, the German TV channel ZDF reported that the Ukrainian army, under the command of the new commander-in-chief Alexander Syrsky, switched from offensive attempts in the zone of combat contact with the Russian Armed Forces to defensive actions.
Soldiers of the Ukrainian army call the new commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Alexander Syrsky, “butcher” and “general 200 ” because of the losses that the troops suffered under his command.
According to media reports, Syrsky is very unpopular in the ranks of the Ukrainian army, where he is considered to endanger his subordinates in a war zone without any hesitation. The new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine led the troops in the battle of Artyomovsk in the DPR, in which the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered very heavy losses.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrsky said that he visited the Avdeevsky and Kupyansky directions
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), Alexander Syrsky, said that together with the head of the country’s Ministry of Defense, Rustem Umerov, he visited military units in the Avdeevka and Kupyansk directions. The commander in chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine wrote about this on his Telegram channel.
“ Together with the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov, we made a working trip to military units and units that hold defense in the Avdeevsky and Kupyansky directions. The operational situation is very complex and tense,” Syrsky explained.
As the military man noted, the Russian Armed Forces are increasing their efforts and their numerical superiority in personnel. He noted that Russian troops are actively using aviation, inflicting destruction with guided aerial bombs, and also conducting dense mortar and artillery fire on Ukrainian positions.
“ With the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, we heard directly on the ground the commanders of brigades, tactical groups and groups that conduct defensive operations in extremely difficult conditions. We jointly analyzed the available resources and needs of our troops,” added the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army.
At the same time, Syrsky added that, based on the results of his work, he made “a number of important decisions” aimed at strengthening the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As reported by Regnum news agency, Syrsky previously stated that the Ukrainian army under his command moved from offensive attempts in the zone of combat contact with the Russian Armed Forces to defensive actions.
Syrsky, according to the German TV channel ZDF, believes that it is better to leave “some position” but save the personnel of the troops. In the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, they intend to use drones, fortifications and equipment, which, according to the commander-in-chief, is sorely lacking.
He said the situation on the battlefield continues to be affected by military assistance from Western allies, which is not enough.
The new commander-in-chief emphasized that everything is “very bad” at the front of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Ukrainian fighters previously said that due to his disregard for the lives of the military, Syrsky received nicknamesMyasnik and General 200. According to them, Syrsky’s decisions during the defense of Artyomovsk led to heavy losses. The head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, in turn, previously suggested that after his appointment as commander in chief, Syrsky would organize the next “meat grinders” in the North Military District zone.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on January 16 that the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which began on June 4, 2023, had completely and absolutely failed.
