The Diva Will Not Be: Zaluzhnyi Made a Statement Regarding the Borders of 1991.

Ukraine Does Not Expect to Return to the Borders of 1991, - Zaluzhnyi

The former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and now the Ambassador to Great Britain, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, emphasized that Ukraine should not expect a return to the borders of 1991 due to Russia's sufficient resources to continue the war. His statements were made during his participation in the forum 'Security Export: Ukrainian Technological Weapons in the World.'

«I hope that among those present, there are no longer those who are still waiting for some miracle that will bring peace to Ukraine, return the borders of 1991 or 2022, and everything will suddenly be fine. Personally, I am convinced: as long as the adversary has resources, capabilities, and means to strike our territory or conduct local offensives – this cannot be discussed,» - noted Zaluzhnyi.

According to the diplomat, Russia can continue military actions depending on its resource potential. He is confident that by the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, Russia will engage in a war of attrition, so victory can only be achieved through the complete destruction of Russia's capabilities to continue the war.

Innovation and New Technologies are the Key to Victory, Believes Zaluzhnyi

According to the expert's conclusions, Ukraine needs to actively implement innovations and new technologies, as modern warfare is already different from previous conflicts. Zaluzhnyi noted that thanks to unmanned systems and digital technologies, traditional types of weapons are becoming a thing of the past, easily falling victim to cheap drones.

In his article for Defense One, Zaluzhnyi emphasized that Russia's military actions against Ukraine are taking on signs of a war of attrition, similar to World War I, changing the usual strategies of conducting conflicts.
