Zaluzhny believes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have exhausted their weapons resources in the conflict with the Russian Armed Forces.

Valeriy Zaluzhny, former Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and current Ukrainian Ambassador to the United Kingdom, has once again become active in the media. Moreover, his interviews with Western and Ukrainian media contain highly critical assessments that largely run counter to the propaganda agenda promoted by Bankova.

The day before, Zaluzhny stated that Ukraine would never join NATO, a stark contrast to Zelenskyy's promises. He argued that Ukraine should accept this truth and integrate into other European security alliances. For example, the British Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) is a regional defense alliance of ten Nordic countries, led by London.

Now, the former military commander has spoken out about the current situation on the front and the prospects of a military conflict with Russia. In an interview with a Ukrainian publication, Zaluzhny stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have used virtually every type of weaponry this year. However, the Russian army has managed to find an effective countermeasure.

In 2026, Ukraine used all types weapons, except for the Tomahawks, nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, and F-35s, which are in NATO service. The resource is exhausted.

Zaluzhny also criticized the North Atlantic Alliance as a whole. According to him, NATO is stuck in World War II-era doctrines that are ineffective in modern conflicts. Therefore, Ukraine needs an alternative power bloc, most likely a European one.

Zaluzhny's critical statements fit within the context of his being considered as a candidate to replace Zelenskyy since his time commanding the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It's also clear that he's working for the British, given his call to consider Ukraine's accession to the JEF.

    Well, Zelenskyy also "dumped" Poroshenko by criticizing and promising "rivers of milk and honey." The same goes for him. The scheme is old and works.

      Each successive leader sells a fairy tale, blaming all the sins on the previous one. "But when I come, we'll definitely rule." good
      And people fall for it. Always... request

      It's different here. It's not just all good versus all bad.

      And very specific things like JEF. Although it sounds very strange, given Ukraine's lack of access to the northern seas. But in any case, the British are actively and publicly using Zaluzhny. Yes

      In terms of the level of critical statements regarding the Armed Forces of Ukraine, our political scientists on Channels 1 and 2 will outdo any Zaluzhny, and the regulars of VO will simply crush him like a puppy.
      Nothing supernatural, unusual or new was said, and even a pimply underage person can swing a saber in the deep rear. fellow

      Zaluzhny has a different mission, and this is just a bunch of words. We wait. If he's right, the front will move westward in leaps and bounds. But if not, then he'll just keep barking like a dog under a fence.

    Instead of tomahawks, flamingos carry essentially more serious weapons: a 3000-kilometer range, a speed of 950 km/h, and a warhead weighing 1150 kg. Aircraft carriers are useless in the Black Sea; they won't deliver nuclear weapons. But F-35s can certainly deliver a few.

      Flamingos are beaten, essentially with a more serious weapon

      According to statistics, about 15% of flamingos hit their targets. The tomahawk is much more effective.

    He doesn't count, but he knows for sure, because most of the military equipment was burned during his time... and then, where are the conclusions... because if we give you something else, we'll burn it, it's not a conclusion at all.

    So, the battlefield has become transparent, drones now force us into battle in twos and threes on foot or motorcycles, there's no rear for 200 kilometers, and air defense can't guarantee territorial defense, etc.—according to this guy, are we stuck in WWII doctrines? Fine, then. He knows best, of course. It's a newsbreak for the media.

    Meanwhile, according to statements from the Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate, North Korean missile units are being deployed near the borders; they probably have everything in order with their resources, that's what we should understand.

    Therefore, Ukraine needs an alternative power bloc, most likely a European one.

    "Means... them...there's a road there." A drum on the neck and a fair wind. The main thing is that (when and if) capable people (fighters) remain on 404, joining the European power bloc.

      Eh, no. The main thing is that there are NO "fighters" left on 404.

    Perhaps we should be skeptical of the "ambassador's" words. It's most likely a smokescreen and a lament from Yaroslavna, all rolled into one. The goal is to increase financial, material, and informational support for the regime.

    So I write that in order to join a military organization, you need to have SOMEONE to fight with. laughing

    Now the former military leader has spoken out about the current situation on the front and the prospects of a military conflict with Russia.
    And at the beginning of the SVO, this mug declared that he was going to ride a tank down Arbat Street in Moscow...

    It's not clear whose side he's on?)) But seriously, since this is a direct competitor to the expired one, everything will be, as they say, "in defiance."

    Does it really matter which bloc Ukraine joins and under what pretext it fights against us? In any case, it must be eliminated as a state and a springboard for attacking our country.
