Former Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and current Ambassador to Britain Valeriy Zaluzhny stated that Russia has overtaken Ukraine in terms of innovations on the battlefield.
He spoke about this at the forum “Export of Security: Ukrainian Weapons in the World”.
According to him, Ukraine is currently “unable to continuously generate and scale up innovations even in those areas where we were ahead of the enemy just yesterday.”
“The enemy has already overtaken us and we are falling behind – and we need to talk about this honestly,” he said.
Zaluzhny did not specify what he meant, but it is obvious that he is talking about drones, in which the Russian Federation has recently begun to make a breakthrough .
At the same time, Ukraine is experiencing a “shortage of human resources and a catastrophic economic situation.”
The former commander-in-chief believes that the Russian Federation is currently waging a war of attrition. In response, according to Zaluzhny, it is necessary to “undermine the economy and social component in order to deprive Russia of the opportunity for scientific and technological development and to launch processes of civil unrest and disintegration.”
The former commander-in-chief does not specify how to do this
He had previously said the war had reached a stalemate because new technology had made old weapons and classic military tactics ineffective.
