The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, discussed the issue of strengthening Ukraine's air defense in a phone call with the NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, EUCOM Commander General Christopher Cavoli.

That's according to Syrskyi's post on Facebook, seen by Ukrinform.

"We are planning directions of cooperation for 2024-2025. Careful planning with the support of Western partners is critical for bleeding the enemy out," Syrskyi emphasized.

"I thanked him for the military assistance provided and voiced our main needs, in particular regarding long-range capabilities and ammunition for them," the Commander-in-Chief noted.
