“We speak the same language... We understand each other, no matter who I am talking to - an ordinary soldier, a rifleman, a brigade or battalion commander,” said Syrsky.
He added that he has been involved in the war since 2014, when Russia invaded Donbas, and therefore understands all the difficulties faced by the Ukrainian military.
Concluding the interview, Syrsky thanked Ukraine's Western allies for their support: “Together we are stronger. Together we can win.”
