Day 265. russians will return.
They will attack again. But they will be ready and will have worked on their mistakes.
Hey everyone.
Today our most productive translator and allround legend Yuriy brought you an English version of a great post by Roman Sinicyn, Prytula Foundation’s military department chief.
It discusses the two narratives in the public discourse to pay attention to. We hope you find them useful. If you’d like to share this translation on Twitter - here's the tweet.
“Right now it’s important to carefully track the two narratives and those who spread and will spread them.
Because these are russian narratives. And those who spread them are either useful idiots or camouflaged russkies.
1) “It was a deal. Our guys let them retreat, could’ve taken 20000 POW occupants\kill them, where are the trophies etc.”
During the night of russians’ final escape, our artillery and MLRSs worked almost constantly on both the right and the left bank of the Dnipro river. Trust me, we’ve wasted enough of both their vehicles and personnel. And worked before that too, and had target acquisition, and there were results as well.
To everyone who goes on and on about “didn’t catch up and didn’t finish off” I suggest you go and catch up with them yourself on mined territory with your own cute little feet.
In one mechanised brigade on the Southern direction alone the losses, in a couple of days of the “offensive”, were over ten soldiers and officers due to detonations of mines, explosive charges, IEDs. + the occupants also shelled our positions with MLRSs and artillery, they are not imbeciles, they have learned to fight.
This narrative is aimed exclusively at dividing the society, which is now in a state of unity, and at gradual cultivation of distrust towards the military and political management.
2) “We need to sit down and negotiate a deal with russians, they are ready for it and are themselves offering this.”
No we won’t. We need to free the territories. There can be no negotiations with the russians unless it’s about POWs, capitulation in the war and reparations. Full stop.
We have already paid too high a price for the Minsk [accords] and “formats”.
They are ready for this now because they “got f#cked up” and will likely get even more of the same. russians need at least a short-term pause to regroup, or to freeze the conflict for some time (it can be years) to address their own problems with the army, economy, army, international field etc.
And they, I suppose, can offer something in return, let’s say de-occupation of certain territories.
But this is an obvious and horrible trap, because russians will return.
They will attack again, but they will be ready and will have worked on their mistakes.
And whether we’ll be ready for this - I seriously doubt that.”
