The Ukrainian Armed Forces are shifting from a war of attrition to an asymmetric strategy — Syrskyi
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi participated in a meeting of the EU Military Committee at the commander-in-chief level, where he provided a detailed account of the complex operational situation on the battlefield.
The Commander-in-Chief emphasized that the Ukrainian army has successfully thwarted the enemy’s strategic plans and is now transitioning to new methods of warfare.
He also outlined the Ukrainian Defense Forces’ priority needs for weapons and called on European partners to join forces in the field of military technology.
Despite difficult conditions and the numerical superiority of Russian occupation forces, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to hold their defenses effectively.
Based on the results of last year and this spring, the Defense Forces have managed to completely block the enemy’s advance toward its key objectives.
To minimize the invaders’ advantage in manpower, the Ukrainian command is changing its overall approach to conducting combat operations.
The new concept involves abandoning traditional methods of confrontation and shifting firepower deep into the enemy’s rear. The Commander-in-Chief has clearly outlined the Ukrainian military’s priorities for the immediate future.
“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 launch effective counterattacks, inflict damage on the Russians’ rear areas—including deep within their territory—and protect our airspace,” he said.
State-of-the-art technological units play a special role in repelling the offensive, inflicting massive losses on the enemy.
The strike drones of the Unmanned Systems Forces are actively operating in the air, land, and sea domains, demonstrating high precision.
Statistics confirm that a single UAS strike crew eliminates an average of about 15 Russian soldiers per month.
At the same time, to maintain the strategic initiative, Ukraine needs constant and large-scale support from European countries.
Oleksandr Syrskyi provided his European counterparts with an updated list of military needs, with the primary focus on airspace defense.
Daily massive attacks by Russian drones on frontline cities require an immediate strengthening of air and missile defense.
One of the most important steps to ensure a long-term advantage on the battlefield should be the integration of production capabilities.
The Ukrainian side has proposed that European partners launch a large-scale technological project.
Official Brussels and Kyiv must join forces to create a powerful defense alliance.
