We discussed the situation in the combat zone. He spoke in detail about all the areas where our defensive and offensive operations are ongoing. 

He noted the resilience and heroism of all our Ukrainian defenders, who are repelling Russian attacks and continuing to advance despite the density of Russian defensive fortifications and the invaders' many-fold advantages in the air and in manpower, artillery and shells.

During the conversation with General Burkhard, we discussed the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the issue of training for our servicemen in France."
