The Ukrainian Defence Forces have managed to seize the strategic initiative at the front and have been pushing forward, said Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), during a telephone conversation with Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley.

QUOTE: “We discussed the situation at the frontline. We have managed to seize the strategic initiative, the Security and Defence Forces of Ukraine continue to conduct offensive operations, and we are making progress.
The enemy is putting up a strong fight while suffering heavy losses. They are trying to hold on to their positions through massive mining of the area.”
DETAILS: Zaluzhnyi also briefed Milley on the current needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for weapons, ammunition and mine clearance equipment and thanked him for the military aid package announced by the United States earlier.
“We agreed to stay in touch and coordinate actions to ensure the liberation of Ukrainian territory,” the Commander-in-Chief of the AFU concluded.
