Oleksandr Syrskyi reported this on Facebook. 

“At the beginning of the conversation, I expressed my condolences to the American people over the irreparable losses caused by the recent terrible fires in the state of California. During the conversation, I informed my American colleague about the situation on the frontline, which is characterized by heavy fighting in most areas,” noted Syrskyi.

He also emphasized that “thanks to the courage and bravery of the Ukrainian military, the enemy's (Russian - ed.) greater forces failed to achieve the strategic goal in any of the frontline areas.” 

“I thanked General Brown for the positive dynamics in the provision of logistical assistance, especially in terms of supplying air defense systems, heavy equipment, artillery and aviation ammunition,” added Oleksandr Syrsky.

Charles Brown, in turn, assured that the U.S. will continue to effectively support the resilience of Ukrainian soldiers.

  • U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said that the United States believes that imposing large-scale sanctions against Russia is more effective than recognizing the country as a sponsor of terrorism.
