According to our source, General Oleksandr Syrskyi expresses disappointment with his new position as commander-in-chief. He feels that the situation in the army is deteriorating, in particular, due to internal sabotage and anti-presidential sentiment among the military. Ukraine's positions are being lost, and Syrsky can be used as a scapegoat. Although he followed all instructions from Bankova.
The central question is how the administration will handle this situation to avoid liability. Zelenskyi replaced Zaluzhnyi with Syrskyi with the promise of improvements and closer victories.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, addressed the Ukrainian volunteers, thanking them and noting that the military leadership will do everything possible to ensure everyone a place in the army according to their skills.
According to Arahamiya, if the aid from the US decreases, it will be necessary to mobilize people additionally.
Syrskyi also congratulates the Ukrainian military on the Day of the Ukrainian Volunteer.
"Exactly 10 years ago, on March 14, in the morning, directly from Maidan Nezalezhnosti, hundreds of fighters of Maidan Self-Defense left for training in Novy Petrivka, Kyiv region. They became fighters of the first volunteer battalion of the National Guard of Ukraine. A few days later, volunteer battalions were created in many cities of Ukraine. "Yesterday's teachers, doctors, students, entrepreneurs, athletes, IT specialists made their choice - to defend the independence of Ukraine," the general noted.
He emphasized that Ukrainian volunteers stood in defense of Ukraine in the area of the Anti-Terrorist Operation in the east, and in February 2022, many of them voluntarily joined the army.
"In charge of the defense of the capital, I gave the order to mobilize all volunteers through brigades and battalions, based on the territorial defense forces, because I understood that the volunteers came to defend their families, their native streets and cities, their country. Looking at those queues, I finally understood that the Russians will not be able to pass the parade in Kyiv. Not in three days, not in three months. Never," said Syrskyi.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces honored the memory of the fallen defenders and thanked the Ukrainian volunteers who serve in the army and are ready to join the army.
"We will do our best to find a suitable place for each of you according to your experience, skills and capabilities," added Syrskyi.
