Direct speech: “If we take the global plans of the enemy, they have not changed – all of Ukraine. And all the directions of conducting offensive actions also remain the same, only the terms, the number of weapons, and personnel change. Everything else remains as it was. That is, they adhere to their plans.

Therefore, we will conduct a strategic defense operation, while we understand that you will not win in defense. Therefore, accordingly, we will conduct offensive operations, fight to maintain the operational initiative, because this leads to the fact that the enemy is forced to attract and withdraw significant human resources, weapons, ammunition, in order to restrain our active actions.
Details: Syrskyi also noted that Ukraine will continue the “practice of asymmetric actions”, which has proven itself well.
The head of the committee stated that Ukraine has recently achieved success in matters of manpower and mobilization.
“What can I say: we have a much better record on this issue than, say, seven months ago,” he said.
According to Sirskyi, this happened as a result of “improving the work of territorial manning centers in the attitude of commanders, in the work of all components of the Defense Forces – in terms of ensuring the very process of manning units, in terms of training, in terms of working with people, because we understand that first of all problems appear where there is no normal human attitude towards people who are mobilizing.”
Direct speech: “We have stable indicators precisely in obtaining the number of personnel that we planned, for example, per month. This is firstly. And secondly, such a parity direction is to reduce the level of self-abandonment of units. This will give us the opportunity to receive additional servicemen and reduce the load in terms of mobilization.”
Details: Syrsky also stated that in 2025, the number of losses of Ukrainian troops decreased by 13%, while the level of enemy losses increased significantly.
“I want to note that in two years – the 24th and 25th – enemy losses amounted to more than 850,000 personnel. This means all losses – both killed and wounded. This testifies to the effectiveness of military operations,” he added.
