Syrsky emphasized the importance of restoring positions and holding territories in the Kursk and Belgorod regions of the Russian Federation.
“We continue to tie down a significant enemy group in the border area. The enemy will have no peace there,” he added.
Separately, there was talk about building up and improving the unmanned component of our defense capability – both in protecting the rear cities of Ukraine, and in containing enemy assaults on the combat line, and in DeepStrike attacks on Russian territory.
“I am monitoring the development of the interceptor drones. New crews are being formed, fighters are being trained. The army needs as many of these high-tech UAVs as possible,” Syrsky said.
He added that the president and the government have full support in this matter.
