After the dismissal of Szirszkij, President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that the general had made indelible contributions in organizing Kyiv's defense in the spring of 2022 – at that time as the commander of the ground forces – and played a significant role in the liberation of the eastern half of Kharkiv region in the summer of 2022 and in the Kursk breakthrough, which allowed Ukrainian forces to hold Russian territories under their control for nine months. #ukránháború #oroszveszteségek #Szirszkij (translated)
