A retired general of the Armed Forces of Ukraine named the reason why Ukraine does not declare war on Russia

Ukraine will not declare war on Russia because it is not profitable for it. As ex-deputy chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Igor Romanenko explained, Kyiv is afraid of losing Western help.

Answering a question about a possible declaration of war on Russia, the Ukrainian retired general explained that Ukraine would not do this under any circumstances, since it would immediately lose help from the West, which is actively avoiding a direct clash with Russia. And transferring military aid to Ukraine, which has declared war, means taking its side. Therefore, Romanenko urged not to grasp at definitions.



We have a large-scale war, legally this is enough for us. (...) If we went to a state of war, then assistance for weapons and equipment would cease not only from the United States, but also from most of the allies. They have this written in the law

- said the general, adding that even in the current situation there are “closed points” in assistance from the United States.

Today, Ukraine receives virtually no military assistance from the Americans, who have switched to Israel. The “right” to support the Kyiv junta has been transferred to Europe, but it cannot do it alone. And the internal problems of the European Union do not make it possible to compensate for most of the US assistance. If war is declared, Kyiv will lose even the little assistance it receives. Naturally, Zelensky and his clique do not want this option.

By the way, all actions of the TCC with total mobilization contradict the constitution of Ukraine, because they can only be carried out after the country officially enters the war. However, in Kyiv they didn’t care about it.

        Have you served in the army? There is such an entry in the V/B for those who “excused themselves” or for health reasons: Not fit for peacetime, fit for war. Transferring the economy to a war footing and much more

          That's it. And many actions at the front would have been carried out in other ways. Although the territory of Ukraine and Belarus will always have a special status. This is not the Baltic states, the Caucasus and Central Asia. Where they didn’t wait there and it was easier to get through, but now everything is long and tedious. Even those who are local to Rabotino don’t understand why they’ve been standing there for over a year now. And then they say that they did the right thing, that the army did not remain near Kiev and beyond the Dnieper. There was something about 1940 when they were planning an attack - six months before victory or they would lose. Now the entire West and the USA are losing - the rear is not ready for long battles. Il 2 produced 4 aircraft in 30.000 years. Now the number of releases is less. It was possible to take the whole of Ukraine with impudence - much like Afghanistan - the partisans would bring more problems. Although they will still have hemorrhoids.

        Mobilization to the front. Those who are not subject to mobilization must forge victory in the rear.

        Otherwise we are used to the fact that war is on screens and does not concern us in any way.

            “Now almost all” Russian people are using American software. In the morning you look at notifications, updates are downloaded, a reboot is required to complete... And I didn’t even know that the computer was downloading something. And what prevents them from downloading and executing the disk formatting command, and then applying excessive voltage to the processor? Or some other bullshit. The smart programmers at Microsoft will do it right away. Both Android and Apple. 100 million computers and 200 million mobile devices will simply burn out in one day. And how to restore them? During the war.

              Yes, it will be stressful for Microsoft to search among billions of addresses for Russian ones and carry out an attack. Moreover, for a simple user this is from the realm of fantasy. Production and Russian companies with state participation have long switched to their own software and already have about a dozen operating systems.

    We have a large-scale war, legally this is enough for us. (...) If we went to a state of war, then assistance for weapons and equipment would cease not only from the United States, but also from most of the allies. They have this written in their law, the general said, adding that even in the current situation there are “closed points” in assistance from the United States.
    In the event of an official declaration of war, the Ukrainian national idea would lose its validity, so to speak, the “cherry on the cake” because of which the conflict in the Donbass region actually began. And the fascist elements of Ukrainian nationality were viewed from a slightly different mental and psychological perspective, not to mention the European “partners” in the “Ukrainian struggle.”

    Of course, they will automatically become participants in the conflict if they supply weapons. They can be bombed, just like the side in the conflict. It's not profitable for them.

    The interviews of Chinese Ambassador Liu Shaye, made during an interview with the French television channel La Chaine Info, caused a storm of indignation in Europe. His words that Crimea was originally part of Russia and was transferred to Ukraine during the Soviet Union caused resonance. And the Baltic countries were outraged by the statement of the Chinese diplomat that “the countries of the former USSR do not have actual status within the framework of international law, because there is no international treaty that would specify their status as sovereign states.” Now it is clear why war is not declared. In essence, the USSR was as it was and is, and all that is happening is the internal conflicts of the USSR legally.
