Syrsky made an important statement on February 24
The Commander-in-Chief once again recalled that on the morning of February 24, 2022, Russia cherished the hope of a lightning victory.
Putin wanted to break us in a few days, destroy the entire state.
The enemy did not take into account the main thing — the Ukrainians. The strength of spirit. The courage of the warrior. The unity of the people. In the battles for Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Mariupol, we proved: Ukraine is fighting. And will fight. We have stood firm. And we will stand firm.
Oleksandr Syrsky
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
As the commander-in-chief noted, the war with Russia has been going on for 12 years.
Syrsky drew attention to the fact that this is a new type of war, because it is being waged in several dimensions at once — military, technological, and cognitive.
Ukraine must do everything possible to become stronger than the enemy in each of them.
Over the years, we have unfortunately lost the best sons and daughters of Ukraine. Eternal memory. Eternal glory to the fallen defenders... Our duty is to be worthy of them. To continue the fight. To defeat the enemy for their sake. We are grateful to international partners for their support. Together, we are defending not only Ukraine. We are defending freedom.
