🇷🇺🇺🇦 Regarding Surovikin's statement and the fate of Kherson

The commander of the special operation is absolutely correct: everything depends on the situation.

Mistakes made by previous commanders are being corrected now. Improper estimates of forces and materiel, a belief in their own invulnerability for which they had to pay a hundredfold, and trust in the corresponding organizations that provided incorrect data.

All these problems were similar to pus boils that are now being dissected with a surgical scalpel.

While one part of the front may have piles of ammo and materiel reserves because the local commander did a good job of camouflaging and entrenching himself correctly, other parts see equipment and supplies destroyed by drone and artillery strikes, even the food supplies.

Now the operation is being reformed. The targets are changing. The approaches are changing. If a decision has been made on energy infrastructure, then hopefully it will be made for bridges as well.

Because if communications are cut off, it will be difficult for the enemy to organize a rapid redeployment of troops. Both to Donbass, and from Donbass to operating area of the regional grouping of troops stationed in Belarus.

Obsessed With War write that the population are finally being talked to like adults. And this is normal.

They write that there's already an understanding that the 1-to-5 ratio that has formed around Kherson may not play out well for the Russian troops. That various scenarios are being planned, including the worst ones.

The army finally has opened a dialogue with society. Even if it required changing the leadership of the entire grouping, dismissing several colonels-general and army generals, and changing approaches to the conduct of combat operations.

It was worth it.
