Quote from Zaluzhnyi: "As is customary, I briefed my American counterpart on the operational situation.
In particular, I reported on the enemy's main movements on the Luhansk front, where fierce fighting continues near Popasna, Kreminna and Torske, and on the transition by Ukrainian defence forces to counteroffensive actions on the Kharkiv and Izium fronts.
I stressed the renewed use of cruise missiles by the Russian aggressors. The main purpose of these attacks is to disrupt logistical routes for supplying military and technical assistance to Ukraine [...].
Therefore, the issue of providing Ukraine with M142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS multiple-launch rocket systems is very urgent."
