Colonel general Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, attends an interview with Reuters, amid Russia 's attack on Ukraine, in Kharkiv region, Ukraine on Jan 12, 2024.
He said he spoke on Sunday with US House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and"underscored that Patriot systems are needed, and as soon as possible". Freshly rested Ukrainian brigades were being rotated in those areas to replace units that had suffered losses, he said. Further up the front, the Kyiv-held town of Chasiv Yar is a key emerging battleground because of its position on elevated ground that could serve as a gateway to the cities of Kostiantynivka, Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
Syrskiy said there were so signs that Russia was directly preparing for an offensive in the north of the country. A Ukrainian intelligence source told Reuters this week that Russia was conducting airstrikes on Ukrainian rail lines to disrupt the delivery of US weapons to the front and to complicate military logistics.
