Syrskyi: Russia's losses exceed its army's reinforcements for three months now, Kremlin refuses to halt offensive
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi held a meeting with Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces, General Michael Claesson, during which the parties discussed military aid to Ukraine and the situation on the front lines.
According to Ukrinform, Syrskyi reported this on Facebook.
“I held a productive meeting with the Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces, General Michael Claesson,” he noted.
According to the Commander-in-Chief, the Swedish general’s visit signals that the partnership with Sweden remains a strategic priority. He also thanked the King, the government, and the people of Sweden for their support of Ukraine and military aid to the Defense Forces, particularly for the 21st aid package, which includes the latest air defense systems, Deep Strike capabilities, and ammunition.
“Stockholm remains a committed partner in coalitions focused on developing Ukraine’s air force, navy, unmanned systems, armored vehicles, demining, and information technology. Sweden’s active engagement in this regard is crucial for consolidating our partners’ joint efforts to compel Russia to make peace,” Syrskyi emphasized.
The Commander-in-Chief also added that, at present, the Kremlin has no intention of halting its offensive operations, even though it is suffering significant losses on the battlefield, which have exceeded the Russian army’s reinforcements for three consecutive months.
Also, he briefed the Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces on the current situation along the 1,200-kilometer active front line and on the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ needs for weapons and military equipment.
“I expressed my conviction that fruitful military cooperation with our NATO partners here in Ukraine lays the foundation for a new security architecture for all of Europe,” Syrskyi concluded.
As reported by Ukrinform, the war has entered a new phase. By April 1 of this year, Russia plans to increase the number of personnel in its unmanned systems units to 101,000.
