On the Ukrainian side, Kyiv claims that about 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed and 370,000 have been wounded.
He also claimed Ukraine weakened Russia’s military might through “DeepStrike means.”
DeepStrike is a long-range strike strategy that U.S. President Joe Biden authorized in the fall.
Biden gave Kyiv permission to use U.S.-made ATACMS missiles to strike inside Russia.
Afterward, Kyiv used the first British-made Storm Shadow missiles as Ukraine expanded its operations on Russian territory, hitting military and industrial targets.
Syrskyi also announced that Kyiv extended basic training for troops to two months to “increase the readiness and safety of soldiers.”
