Defense Minister Rustem Umierov introduced the new Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, to his partners in Germany and France.
Umierov wrote about this on Twitter (X), Censor.NET reports.
Among other things, Syrskyi personally met with Bundeswehr Inspector General Carsten Breuer. Presumably, the meeting took place in Ukraine, and there was no advance notice of Breuer's visit.
"During the meeting, Colonel General Syrskyi informed his German counterpart about the situation at the front and thanked him for Germany's contribution to strengthening the Ukrainian army. The needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in weapons, ammunition and air defense systems were discussed," Umierov wrote.
The defense minister also introduced Syrskyi during a telephone conversation with French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecorne.
"We discussed a common understanding of the situation at the front, our ways to achieve combat advantage and the top priorities of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," he wrote in a separate tweet.
