Btw, DW writes:
>former British military intelligence officer Frank Ledwidge warned that Syrskyi was "less popular with the troops" due to his being "less casualty-averse" than Zaluzhnyi.
And then they quote Syrsky:
>"We see that people are cannon fodder to them," he told Ukrainian broadcaster 1+1. "We have a whole different approach. To us, the people are the highest value.
And then Ledwidge again:
>I have no doubt at all that [Syrskyi] is recommending right now, as we speak, that the Ukrainians hold on as long as they can in Avdiivka, regardless of the cost, just as he did during the Bakhmut campaign
Ell-oh-ell
Do Ukrainian leaders want to kill as many Ukrainians as possible? God knows how much time they left to do it...
