In an exclusive interview with The Times’s Anthony Loyd, Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, reveals the brutal, numbers-based math behind his strategy to defeat Vladimir Putin's invasion. Often criticised as an inflexible, Soviet-style leader who is reckless with his troops' lives, the enigmatic general presents a cold, uncompromising face to the enemy. His main objective? Enforce a strict daily "killing quota" of over 1,000 Russian personnel to force a total collapse of the Kremlin’s forces. Can Ukraine's tactical drone advantage break the bloody stalemate, or will its chronic shortage of troops prove fatal? From the harrowing defence of Kyiv to the top-secret planning behind the Kursk offensive, this is an inside look at the spartan, calculated mind of the general holding the line against a vastly numerically superior foe.
