During a meeting of the EU Military Committee at the level of Chiefs of Defense (Chiefs of General Staff), Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi provided an update on the situation at the front and the needs of the Ukrainian army, and highlighted the main tasks of the Defense Forces.
Syrskyi reported this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.
"At the meeting of the EU Military Committee, I spoke about the operational situation on the battlefield in Ukraine, which remains difficult. At the same time, based on the results of both last year and this spring, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have prevented the enemy from achieving the strategic objectives of the so-called special military operation. Given limited resources, to effectively counter a significantly larger enemy, we are trying to shift from a ‘war of attrition’ to an asymmetric strategy. “Our main tasks are to halt the enemy’s advance and effectively counterattack, strike at the Russians’ rear, including deep within their territory, and protect our skies,” Syrskyi stated.

According to him, a significant portion of the enemy’s losses are inflicted by Ukrainian unmanned systems units across all three domains—air, land, and sea. The average number of enemy personnel eliminated by a single UAS strike crew per month is 15.
