Military correspondent Yuriy Butusov expresses indignation and concern about the lack of resolution of the issue with rotation, indicating that such a situation may soon get out of control. At the same time, it remains unclear which of the generals is entrusted with issuing the relevant order, which complicates the distribution of forces and means for effective resistance on the front line.
For a long time, marching reinforcements and fresh battalions were not sent to Avdiivka. The infantry is being thinned out, people are simply sick, written off due to the state of health, wounded, contused, dead. The Russians suffer many times more losses, but they replenish their assault battalions constantly, our replenishments are many times smaller, and it was a long time ago.
Avdiyivka is now the main offensive line of the Russian army in Ukraine. The enemy is throwing reserves here, wants to push us. And we could use this to crush all the Russian reserves here and protect the city and convenient positions. But…
You ask the people of Zaluzhnyi and Tarnavskyi - they say, we don't have people, because the distribution is handled by the commander of the ground forces, Sirskyi, and the TCC and TRO system subordinate to him.
You ask Syrsky's entourage - Zaluzhnyi has units subordinate to him, Tarnavsky too, let them maneuver and strengthen.
You ask, who can figure it out and make a decision to strengthen the defense of the large Ukrainian city of Avdiyivka with people? The Minister of Defense - no, he is told that he cannot interfere in such matters. The Supreme Commander and his Stavka? No, he can't either, it's the military, let them figure it out.
I have a question - how to attract the attention of the top management to Avdiyivka, so that they give marching reinforcements to the 110th and at least a couple of fresh battalions?
Who is responsible for this? Should we ask the mayors again and hold rallies near the mayors?
We are not talking about giving Avdiivka all the strength to change the strategic plans of the military command. This is to make up for the current losses for two and a half months of assaults. To start a couple of fresh battalions and give at least a couple of battalions in the defense of the city a little sleep. And we have such forces.
Replenishment of the Avdiivka garrison with people at this moment is Valery Zaluzhnyi's primary responsibility. Yes, this is also the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and the Minister of Defense, who assumed political responsibility for the defense of the country. But if there will be no replenishment of people and reserves will not arrive, and the situation will pass from the tense-controlled to the tense-uncontrolled stage, then the questions will be not only to the political leadership, but also why the head did not make the critically necessary decisions.
