Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, held talks with the military leadership of the UK, France, and Germany to discuss changes on the front.
This was reported on the Commander-in-Chief's Facebook page.
Syrskyi noted that in recent days, he held video conference talks with the military leadership of partner countries: Admiral Antony Radakin, Chief of the Defence Staff of the UK; General Thierry Burkhard, Chief of the French Armed Forces Staff; and General Carsten Breuer, Inspector General of the Bundeswehr.
"I discussed the changes in the situation on the fronts and addressed the current needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in weapons, military equipment, ammunition, and more," Syrskyi said.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces added that he received confirmation from European military leaders about the continuation of practical support for Ukraine.
"Air defense, artillery shells, armored vehicles, as well as general and specialized military training — on these and other requests, Europe remains with us," he emphasized.
It is important to note that Syrskyi held talks with European command amid the suspension of military aid to Ukraine from the US. Additionally, the Trump administration restricted Ukraine's access to intelligence data.
The White House stated that the aid was paused while they review funding for Ukraine.
