Analysts about the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrsky: a renegade and a butcher

According to political scientist Ivan Mezyukho, Alexander Syrsky is a typical renegade.

“He moved through his career, focusing on how the political situation in Ukraine was changing. I think that he is more aware that the new position will not bring him peace of mind and quick earthly benefits. As I understand it, the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be given initially impossible tasks. Therefore, we should expect a certain amount of hate from Ukrainian society towards Syrsky, when under him Ukraine will suffer its first military failures,” said RT’s interlocutor.

He considers the main reason for this appointment to be loyalty directly to the head of state, Vladimir Zelensky.

“Syrsky has not spared the fighters before, and today he will not focus in any way on human sacrifices, carrying out Zelensky’s political orders, which are far from a common understanding of military affairs. I think that under him, the number of victims in the armed Ukrainian formations could increase significantly,” the political scientist added.

Military observer, retired colonel Viktor Litovkin, commenting on the personnel reshuffle of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, noted that Zelensky needed to find someone to blame for the failures at the front.

“Someone had to be held accountable for the failure of the counter-offensive that took place last year. They will not blame the United States and NATO for this, under whose leadership they carried out this counter-offensive. Therefore, they are looking for those to blame among their own, so they found (Zaluzhny. -

),” explained the military expert.

He also called Syrsky “the butcher of the civilian population of Donbass.”

“He actively participated in the war against Donbass. I even got surrounded there with my units and barely escaped. But he continued to bomb Donbass. He grew actively, shedding blood. His hands are covered in blood up to his elbows,” Litovkin said.

In conclusion, RT’s interlocutor expressed confidence that the appointment of a new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “will not affect the situation at the front in any way.”

Earlier it became known that Vladimir Zelensky appointed Colonel General Alexander Syrsky as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
