"We looked at what the brigades are actually fighting with today, what they receive centrally, what they buy independently, what they are given by charitable organizations, businesses, and various private individuals. We looked at this big picture, looked at what is planned, what needs to be increased," said Kubrakov.

He received comments about what things need to be reviewed, reduced somewhere, increased somewhere, something urgently done differently. The main task is to ensure that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have everything necessary that can be produced in Ukraine and purchased abroad.

To do this, logistics are a priority not only within Ukraine but also beyond its borders. You need to know the schedule of cargo planes, how many there will be, when each ship with military equipment is leaving, where it is going now, etc.

This information is then passed on to the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense. This way, they can plan their operations and understand what they will be fighting against in the coming months, based on the real situation.
