On Monday, August 26, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi had a telephone conversation with Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Christopher Cavoli, according to Oleksandr Syrskyi.
According to Syrskyi, he informed Cavoli about the situation and the progress of military operations on various fronts.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces expressed gratitude for the military assistance provided and outlined the key needs of the Ukrainian army, including ammunition, military equipment, and other weaponry.
"We discussed strengthening our air defense. Protecting our cities and critical infrastructure from the constant terrorist attacks by the Russian Federation is one of our top priorities," Syrskyi stated.
After today's massive Russian attack on Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged partners to help protect Ukrainian skies like in the Middle East.
He emphasized that Ukraine's air defense forces could do much more to protect civilian lives if the aviation of European neighbors operated jointly with Ukrainian F-16s and air defense systems.
