Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi tells CNN 's Christiane Amanpour that he believes the Kursk operation was a success.

He says Russia had been planning to launch a new attack on Ukraine from the region before Ukraine 's surprise incursion.

Ukraine ’s commander in chief says Russia has an advantage in aviation, missiles and artillery.

But he says the fact that Russia has such a material advantage has forced Ukraine to become smarter and more efficient in fighting the war.

Syrskyi told Amanpour that delays in US military assistance did cause major setbacks on the battlefield.

He said he takes frequent trips to the frontlines and makes sure he spends time with his troops.

“I have been in this war since 2014 ,” he said, referring to Russia ’s incursion into the Donbas 10 years ago .
