Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhiy Shaptala and Commander of the Land Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi visited the southern front. The military leadership visited the Khortytsia and Tavria operational and strategic groups.

This was reported by Zaluzhnyi himself on his Telegram account. He also posted a video.

"We worked with Chief of the General Staff Serhiy Shaptal in the Khortytsia and Tavria operational and strategic groups of troops. I am grateful to everyone who defends our land," the Commander-in-Chief noted.

They checked the operational situation in the south and visited the headquarters of the Tavria and Zaporizhzhia directions.

In a brief comment on the video of the trip, the commander-in-chief also said: "Everything is fine, everything will be fine, everything is according to plan, the guys are good. We will win".

The day before, Zaluzhnyi had a telephone conversation with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley. The parties discussed the operational situation at the front.

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said earlier that Ukraine has not yet engaged its main reserves, including most of the brigades trained in Western countries and equipped with modern NATO tanks and armoured vehicles, in counter-offensive actions.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the Ukrainian Defence Forces' counter-offensive was only at the initial stage, with major developments at the front taking place in the coming weeks and months. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have everything they need to win and regain all the territories seized by the Russians.
