“I informed him about the current situation in combat areas, the activity of Russian occupying forces on key front-line directions, and our success in destroying the enemy and liberating territories. Russian losses have exceeded reinforcements reaching combat units for several months in a row,” Syrskyi wrote on his Facebook page.
He also said he told Hrynkevych about Russia’s war against civilians — airstrikes on Ukrainian settlements and critical infrastructure.
“To further contain Russian offensive groupings, prevent the killing of civilians and ensure air defense for our cities and towns, Ukraine needs continued international military assistance, stable weapons supplies, primarily air defense systems and ammunition for them. In addition to these issues, we also discussed a list of Ukraine’s priority needs under the PURL program, under which European countries and Canada finance U.S. military support,” the commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces said.
Syrskyi added that he thanked Hrynkevych for his steadfast support, as well as the support of NATO and the United States for Ukraine and its Defense Forces.
On March 13, Syrskyi said that for three consecutive months, Russia’s losses had exceeded its army’s ability to replenish them.
