The Russian military has been steadily pushing back Kiev\u2019s forces along the entire front line in recent months<\/p>\n
The battlefield situation for Kiev\u2019s forces remains \u201cdifficult,\u201d Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Aleksandr Syrsky has admitted, as Russian troops continue to make advances along several sectors across the front line.
\nSyrsky has stated that Ukraine\u2019s defense remains \u201cactive\u201d and that the army is focused on holding back Russian forces in several key areas. However, he acknowledged that there are significant \u201cchallenges\u201d ahead, noting that Moscow has intensified its operations and increased the number of airstrikes over the past month.
\nAt the same time, Ukrainian lawmaker Mariyana Bezuglaya has heavily criticized her country\u2019s military leadership for repeating failed tactics and lacking any coherent defense plan. In a series of Telegram posts, Bezuglaya accused the command of \u201clying to itself\u201d and wasting soldiers\u2019 lives in futile assaults while failing to build a real defensive line in the rear, which she warned could soon become the front line.\u00a0
\nSyrsky has also announced a major overhaul of Ukraine\u2019s army command structure, confirming the dissolution of operational-strategic and operational-tactical groupings. The general said the move aims to simplify management and improve efficiency.<\/p>\n

However, Vladimir Rogov, a member of Russia\u2019s Civic Chamber, has claimed that Syrsky\u2019s restructuring is actually part of an internal power struggle within Ukraine\u2019s command, which he described as a \u201cjar of spiders gnawing at each other.\u201d\u00a0
\nHe told RIA Novosti that Syrsky\u2019s \u201cchair is shaking\u201d and that he is now seeking to remove rivals such as General Mikhail Drapatiy, who until the reforms had led the \u2018Dnepr\u2019 grouping responsible for much of the Zaporizhzhia-Kharkov sector. Rogov described Drapatiy as \u201cmore convenient for Zelensky\u201d because of his readiness to \u201ccarry out any criminal order.\u201d\u00a0
\nRussian forces have been steadily gaining ground along the front line in recent months. Chief of the Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov has said Moscow\u2019s troops are advancing in nearly all directions, while Ukrainian units are focusing on crisis points to slow the offensive. Russian officials have repeatedly claimed that Kiev\u2019s leadership is sacrificing its population as \u201ccannon fodder\u201d in a war it cannot win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
