Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, held an operational meeting on the state of engineering fortifications.

According to him, Russia’s plans to recruit another 409,000 troops indicate that the enemy is not abandoning its intentions and continues preparations for further aggression against Ukraine.

With improving weather conditions, enemy activity on the front is increasing.

Among key tasks, the general highlighted strengthening fortifications, developing anti-drone protection, and preparing settlements for defense.

He heard reports from military commanders, leadership of the State Special Transport Service, and heads of regional military administrations.

Problematic issues were discussed, and specific decisions and deadlines were defined.

The Commander-in-Chief emphasized that the quality and speed of this work affect not only the resilience of defense but also the lives of Ukrainian soldiers.

He thanked everyone involved in strengthening Ukraine’s defense — military personnel, engineers, and local authorities.
