Of course, I am not there. Of course, we juggle with information that is in the public domain&#8230; But the main problem of our army, the fact that something is happening somewhere, is such a simple word &#8220;lie&#8221;. That is, we like to turn a blind eye and say that the situation is difficult, but controlled &#8211; and then we lost part of Ukraine again and the enemy advanced again,&#8221; Petrov noted.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/youtu.be\/2IYGQZ9h5S0?t=80<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/defense-of-pokrovsk-the-armed-forces-of-ukraine-revealed-the-real-situation\/\">Defense of Pokrovsk: the Armed Forces of Ukraine revealed the real situation<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> &#8220;Until high-level officials learn to tell themselves the truth, if there is a problem, then call it a problem, until then we will have such, let&#8217;s say, unpleasant nuances, as now, in particular, in the Pokrovskoye direction,&#8221; the war veteran emphasized.<\/p>\n<p> According to him, we should not keep quiet about the problems at the front, because further operational actions of the Ukrainian military and a more effective resolution of pressing issues depend on this.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;First of all, we need to learn to tell the truth to ourselves, and then I am more confident that the situation can improve. That is, operational actions will be taken, reserves will be immediately introduced, or some other actions that will stabilize the front in that direction, neutralize the enemy&#8217;s advantage. Or indeed, if there is a problem, if it is looming somewhere, then we need to talk about it, and not just keep quiet. Because if I say it today, tomorrow I will get a slap on the neck, the day after tomorrow they may remove me from my post&#8230; Well, somehow,&#8221; explains Oleksiy Petrov.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/the-azov-corps-was-transferred-to-the-pokrovsky-direction-heavy-fighting-continues\/\">The Azov Corps was transferred to the Pokrovsky direction &#8211; heavy fighting continues<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> As a reminder, information about an alleged breakthrough of the troops of the aggressor country Russia in the Pokrovsky direction has recently begun to spread online.

The 1st Operational Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine &#8220;Azov&#8221; has been deployed here to support the defense, which has already taken up designated positions and is blocking the enemy&#8217;s attempts to advance.<\/p>\n<p> Earlier, it was reported about <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rosiiany-prosunulysia-u-dvokh-rayonakh-donetskoi-oblasti-deepstate\/\">the advance of the Russian occupiers<\/a> in the areas of Kucherevoy Yar, Zolotye Kolodyaz, and Maiske. The operational command of the &#8220;Dnipro&#8221; reported that the infiltration of the enemy in the Dobropil and Pokrovsk directions does not mean the capture or control of the territory.<\/p>\n<p> Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/pokrovsk-praktychno-vidrizanyy-humanitarnu-ta-medychnu-dopomohu-nemozhlyvo-dostavyty\/\">the situation in the front-line city of Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, remains critical<\/a> \u2014 the city is virtually cut off from external communications, is constantly under fire, and it is impossible to deliver humanitarian or medical aid there.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The country&#8217;s top military and political leadership must tell the truth, first of all to themselves, about what is happening on the front line, and not keep quiet about the problems.
