According to Ukrinform, Drapatyi announced the conversation on Telegram.
"My first phone conversation with the Supreme Allied Commander Europe and Commander of U.S. European Command, General Alexus G. Grynkewich. I outlined my vision of Ukraine’s victory and the capabilities required to achieve it," Drapatyi said.
According to the Commander-in-Chief, at this stage of the war, Ukraine's Defense Forces must strengthen operations across multiple domains, prevent enemy infiltration into defensive lines, and expand both long-range and medium-range precision strikes against the enemy. He also stressed the need to further develop the Army Corps and enhance their operational autonomy.
"We are working to increase the lethality of enemy losses while degrading Moscow’s wartime economic capacity. To achieve this, we are employing asymmetric approaches and Ukrainian technologies," Drapatyi said.
He thanked General Grynkewich for his personal efforts to help secure additional air defense capabilities for Ukraine, and for President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and the United States’ military assistance to Ukraine through the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List or PURL. Under the initiative, European countries purchase military equipment needed by Ukraine, including interceptor missiles for Patriot air defense systems, which Ukraine continues to receive.
