Syrsky: We need to prepare not only for defense, but also for offensive
The Kursk operation significantly motivated both the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and society, and it will not be the last, said Oleksandr Syrsky, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"The Kursk operation significantly motivated our military personnel, and lifted spirits not only in our troops, but also in society, and also gave us hope that this offensive would not be the last," the general said in an interview with the Base project on Bayraktar radio.
Regarding the conclusions that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine made after almost six months of the Kursk operation, Syrsky noted that, firstly, one should not underestimate the enemy.
"Secondly, we need to learn how to fight, win, and draw conclusions from our own mistakes. And, of course, it is necessary to acquire and prevail technologically, that is, to have a technological advantage. Because we are not fighting with numbers, but primarily with quality and technology," he said.
"We need to prepare not only for defense, but also for the offensive," he said.
