"I informed my American colleague about the situation on the front line, which remains difficult. Despite significant losses of personnel, weapons, and military equipment, the Russian aggressor does not abandon continuing offensive actions," Syrskyi wrote on social media.
At the same time, the Commander-in-Chief noted, the enemy resorts to massive missile and air strikes on our rear – deliberately hitting energy facilities, using frosts as an additional tool of pressure and terror against the civilian population of Ukraine.
"During December 2025 and early January 2026, the enemy launched six massive missile and drone attacks on the territory of Ukraine," Syrskyi said.
Thus, on the night of January 13, the Russian aggressor, according to him, attacked our energy facilities, other infrastructure and civilian objects with 25 missiles and 293 attack UAVs.
Starting from 24.02.2022, the number of missiles used by the Russian army reached over 13.3 thousand units, and attack drones – over 142.3 thousand units
And he emphasized: "In this context, the primary need for us is to strengthen the air shield – to receive anti-aircraft missile systems and ammunition, including those that can be implemented by the American side."
"I also informed the Commander of the US Army in Europe about other critical needs of our army that can be met within the framework of the PURL initiative. I emphasized that in the current realities, achieving a stable ceasefire in Ukraine is possible only if consolidated pressure on the enemy from our Western partners is intensified," Syrskyi said.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also said that he "took the opportunity to personally thank General Christopher Donahue, the President and people of the United States of America for their support of Ukraine and their efforts aimed at achieving a just, lasting peace in Ukraine."
