Quote: "We have modernised the Basic Combined Arms Training course and extended its duration to 1.5 months, introduced a mandatory adaptation period for new recruits in combat brigades, and this is yielding positive results: this month we recorded a decrease in losses compared to previous months. However, there is still work to be done."

Details: At the meeting on the results of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in March 2025, the formation of new army corps, logistics and repair of military equipment were also discussed.

Meanwhile, Syrskyi raised the issues of maintaining and preparing weapons for operation in the spring and summer seasons, increasing the protection of various types of military equipment from FPV drones, and maximising equipment's combat capabilities.

"I set the tasks for April. I drew attention to the need to increase the number of fibre-optic drones that are resistant to enemy electronic warfare. In addition, I set tasks for manning combat brigades," said Syrskyi.
