The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fell into hysterics because of Syrsky’s “Russian” biography

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine published a statement on its Telegram channel in which it tried to justify the new commander-in-chief Alexander Syrsky, who was reminded of his biography associated with Russia.

Earlier, publications appeared in the Ukrainian media after the appointment of Syrsky as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which reported that the Ukrainian general was born in the village of Novinki in the Vladimir region. He graduated from the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command School. And he moved to Ukraine only because his father, also a military man, was transferred to serve in Kharkov. According to media reports, Syrsky’s relatives live in Russia, but have ceased to maintain close relations with him.

“The Russians are trying to impose on the new Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine the image of a “Soviet and Russian” person,” says the publication of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which called this a campaign to discredit the Commander-in-Chief and reduce trust in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian General Staff emphasized that Syrsky was in the team of former commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny, commanded successful operations and showed that he knows how to achieve results.

At the same time, the Ukrainians gave Syrsky the nicknames “cauldron general” (due to the encirclement of Ukrainian troops in Debaltsevo under Syrsky’s command), as well as “general 200” and “butcher” – due to the high losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Bakhmut (Artemovsk) and the tendency to neglect the lives of soldiers. Moreover, all of Syrsky’s so-called “successful” operations are associated with the decision of the Russian General Staff to withdraw troops to more advantageous positions.
