General Oleksandr Syrsky: There will be victory only when Ukrainian flags fly over all borders of Ukraine, including Crimea

When there is a war, generals speak not with words, but with deeds. Maybe that's why the Commander of the Ground Forces of Ukraine, Colonel-General /1

Alexander Syrsky, gives interviews so rarely. An exception was made for Good Morning America.

Representing the general, ABC News writes about his role in turning the war in favor of Ukraine. Alexander Syrsky led the successful defense of Kyiv, /2

which destroyed Putin's original plan. And then he organized an impressive counter-offensive in the northeast, forcing the Russian troops to go on the defensive.

Talking about the latter, the general notes that initially it was regarded as a ploy to tie down Russian units. /3

But when planning the operation, it became clear that the Russian forces there were weaker than expected.

“When we were planning this, it became obvious to me that the offensive in Kharkov as an operation would bring the greatest benefit to us and have the most /4

negative impact on the enemy,” recalls Syrsky.

The counteroffensive announced in the summer in the south prompted Russia to withdraw part of its troops there. And as soon as the Russians weakened the defense, Ukraine struck, making a lightning breakthrough.

American journalists call this OUTSTANDING operation a "catastrophe for Moscow", the first signal of the complete defeat of Russian troops.
