During the conversation, he informed General Milley about the operational situation at the contact line and told him about the course of the Ukrainian offensive operation. 

Quote from Zaluzhnyi: "We separately focused on the supply of weapons and ammunition. 

Strengthening our air defence is another important issue that was also thoroughly discussed.
