Pros:
>Lead the successful defense of Kyiv
>Architect behind the successful 2022 Kharkiv 2022 counter-attack
Cons:
>hated by the rank and file for being ruthless, more oriented towards results, rather than preserving soldier lives and ammunition
What are his chances?
i dunno. can't be worse than the current stalemate and refusal to take western instruction in favor of retaining nearly 60 year old Soviet doctrine.
Well to be fair, Ukraine did try a more western-like doctorine in the summer 2023 counteroffensive but due to a combination of factors it didn't work out
No, they really didn't.
Wow! You are so smart, anon! You should contact the Ukrainian military immediately and lead the charge to conquer Moss cow and take all the spoils of war before someone else watches this video and it is too late!

Ukranian soldiers I talk to

I literally cant offer you more, so youre more than welcome to not believe me
>so youre more than welcome to not believe me
good because nobody believes you moron.
Also Syrskiy is my uncle so I know him quite well.
tell your uncle: *smooch*
>Ukranian soldiers I talk to
So you're saying that some random Ukrainian soldiers know this dude personally and say this bullshit, right?
I don’t care. I just hope the Russians kill more Ukrainians. Hopefully no one ever negotiates peace. Ad ultimo Ukraini.
Dragging things out / lack of aggression clearly isn't working as Ukraine is losing territory and international support. Should have done a MASS mobilization a year ago. May be too late to un-frick.
>some guy on twitter said some stuff
Crazy shit is he's actually not Ukrainian but Russian.
A lot of loyalty for a hired gun
I mean, they were the same country until the early 90's, and culturally pretty similar
Russians are the best at killing Russians
Georgians are unbeaten in TZD.
The "hated" part seems very subjective. I dont really see any way to determine his popularity in the Armed Forces without some kind of survey. Just because one person is very popular, doesnt mean that the next person is super unpopular. It just means that he is less popular by comparison. I dont think we will see a big change in moral considering that they are fighting an existential war.
There is also no real way to determine whether he is going to be more successfull that his predecessor. Popularity is no indicator for success. However we can assume that he will be more willing to take risks (this comes from his apparent public image as a result oriented commander). And there are many influences that factor in his chance for battlefield success (see: international support, domestic production, etc.).
He isn't responsible for the Kharkiv offensive. Others planned it and he took the fame.
He threw every resource into Bakhmut when they should have done an orderly retreat and he'll do the exact same thing in Avdiivka. We're probably going to see a load of Abrams and Challengers burning.
Every Ukrainian soldier hates him and they call him the Butcher for a reason.

>He threw every resource into Bakhmut when they should have done an orderly retreat
They did an orderly retreat, and exactly when they should have done it: After inflicting maximum possible zigger death at a lopsided rate.
>and he'll do the exact same thing in Avdiivka
Good. TZD.
>We're probably going to see a load of Abrams and Challengers burning.
And anywhere from 30-50 russian AFVs for each one. Conservatively speaking, of course, the ziggers might suffer even worse than that.
>Every Ukrainian soldier hates him
Source: It came to me in a dream.
>and they call him the Butcher for a reason
Yeah, because he keeps butchering ziggers in job lots.
>no guns hohols
Post guns
After you.
Post political affiliation and the actual year you began using /k/. I guarantee it's hard right wing and 2021.
Go back.
>no toilet vatnik
one day Ivan, maybe one day you'll be able to shit indoor.
>ook ook the rooster pecks the ass
>"Post guns!"
>doesn't post any themselves
Good job outing yourself, /misc/troon tourist. YOu have to go back.
>they call him the Butcher for a reason.
pretty sure they call him that because he wants to skin alive every russian soldier he sees in Ukraine
What happened now
A man who wants to commit TZD to a scale we haven't seen before has been appointed as new comander of ZSU
>is a literal ethnic russian whos only tactic is meatwaves
>pushed a poorly organised expeditionary force of 15-20k russians away from kiev
>kharkiv offensive he literally just walked into open space the russians had retreated from
replacing a popular general with an unpopular russian, at this stage of the war, is a bad sign and anyone that says otherwise is coping hard
I reckon Avdiivka falls by spring and theyre panicking because the west is abandooning.
Black person what kind of krokodil are you on?
if shoigu was sacked and replaced with a chechen or ukrainian then /k/ would have a field day
im just pointing out that things arent going well for ukraine
>Be Ukraine
>replace officer
>HOMG THE WEST IS FALLING
> "officer"
literally the commander of the whole military sweaty
>Staff officer underperforms
>Replace him
>HOMG ITS FRICKING JOEVER
Not just an officer but their best general Black person.
>best general
>gets replaced
Seems the Ukrainians disagree with your assessment.
Based esl moron
>captcha: VDVX

Cool. Post guns.
>if shoigu was sacked and replaced with a chechen or ukrainian then /k/ would have a field day
yes because it would be someone even more moronic than Shoigu which would be quite impressive.
Syrskiy is the n°2 guy so it makes sense that he would take over.
>literally the commander of the whole military sweaty
lmao, vatnik doesn't understand the concept of a leader being replaced (without being killed first I mean)
>if shoigu was sacked and replaced with a chechen or ukrainian then /k/ would
i'd actually be kinda sad if russia replaced that inept old grifter, more so if they picked someone actually capable of waging war effectively - they wouldn't do that though, since they're c**ts.
What kind of argument structure is this? You attribute every success to pure luck or the failure of his opponent. You are clearly arguing in bad faith that this is a totally bad thing despite the fact that changes in the leadership during wartime is a common practice. (see: Grant for example)
his two crowning achievements are pretty shaky, especially the kiev pushback
the russian invasion force was like 100k troops. A moron could have pushed them back. A modern invasion of ukraine requires a million troops, we learned this in ww2.
It wasn't even that. Their tanks rushed ahead of their logistics and ran out of fuel or broke down, then their undefended logistics got raped because the Russians didn't patrol the areas they occupied.
>the russian invasion force was like 100k troops
Closer to three times that size actually, you lying subhuman moron.
Also, did you just admit that Russia was so subhumanly incompetent that they committed to an offensive that any moron could have destroyed with ease? LMAO.
>kiev
too easy to out yourself. cant just help yourself, can you? As for the 100k comment two years ago you steppe trash were on /misc/ posting god emperor monke posts swearing alligeance to him while at the same time boasting how the 200k initial invasion force is more then enough to conquer whole of ukraine
>Literally just walking into open space was enough to shatter and rout the best formations of the Russian Army, causing them tens of thousands of casualties and capturing hundreds of intact vehicles from them.
That's quite the self-own you did there, zigger.
>the west is abandooning
Tell your FSB handler to update your script, the west jsut sent another hudnred billion and committed to continual aid for the rest of the decade.
>I talk to people
>NICE LARP BRO have a nice day
Who is blud talking to?
>Should have done a MASS mobilization a year ago. May be too late to un-frick.
There's plenty of young women and 50/60 year old men left to mobilize, fear not comrade
They dont mobilize people under 30 sweety. They have been running this war off volunteers and middle-aged men this whole time. Meanwhile Russia is stuck in perma-mobilization.
Its beyond hilarious to be honest.
>They dont mobilize people under 30 sweety.
Lmao, k
>Lmao, k
I dig it how you're super invested in this war but dont really know anything about it. Right now the Ukranians are having a big debate about lowering the mobilization age to 25.
>The draft bill proposes lowering the age people can be mobilised for combat duty to 25 from 27. Such a move would allow Ukraine to call up more people to replenish its reserves. The figures have not been made public for security reasons.
Russia has been getting bamboozled by fricking Volksturm.
How's Avdiivka doing?
Great. Russians are dying en masse for a fricking slag heap and a broken coke plant.
Still killing ziggers 10:1 or higher. Not bad for a forward delaying position that was expected to hold a week and has instead lasted for two years.
Ukraine has not drafted a single non-reservist so far. Something moronic vatBlack folk continue to stridently ignore because it utterly BTFO's their moronic projection about ukrainian manpower losses. Cope harder about it, ziggie.
They have to volunteer harder

>ha! Tiny Ukraine hasnt been able to fight a three year war with volunteers only!
>Mighty Russia only had to mobilize like four times!
Conversational TKO anon.
if things were good on the battlefield then you wouldnt fire your top guy lmao how is this even an argument
>Pros
>Russian feint, no intention of capturing Kiev at all.
>Russian retreat to regroup
So in both cases he literally did nothing.
Which they probably know full well, which means they expect a frozen conflict, and these might be Ukraine's final borders.
lmao. how can you be this pathetic.
Are you paid enough for that?
Looks extra slavic. Hes a zigger like Zelensky. Without zaluzni ukraine will lose.
He is literally a Russian born is russia and educated in Moscow
This is the end and I say it as Ukrainian
>Syrskiy replaces Zaluzhniy
dance where israelite flips a place with another israelite..
it's a decision made for very bad reasons. it will be seen as cronyism, because it is. it will also be seen as a choice to avoid a larger mobilisation in favour of increased bloodletting of the forces fighting today - because it is.
with the right enablers, early decision making, and a willingness to fully embrace the heel turn for what it is, it can work.
should US aid fall through with finality, we will be entering proper desperate times. and desperate times call for consideration of skillsets and methodologies previously regarded as off-limits by brass. by which i simply mean to insinuate that if this happens, with syrskyi at the helm, the real violence could very well be greenlit. this war is far more restrained than it might appear at a glance.
