Section of Ukraine: Zelensky answered the Time article and told what the Russian Federation wanted (video)
He shared his opinion on the air of Channel 24. According to Podolyak, the Kremlin wants to capture the whole of Ukraine, and not just leave the occupied territories. "Certainly, it is" cool "to say that let Ukraine provide so many weapons for itself. Yesterday everyone was afraid of Russia, considered it the second army of the world, and now they say that there is Ukraine, and let it be a relationship with Russia. It looks absurd at all, "Podolyak said.
He also noted that the war was ongoing for the dominance of democracies in the world. If, however, Russia, which is already attracting to its side of the country and organization, the authority of democracies will fall. Podolyak hinted that he did not quite understand why 2024 should be a turning point. Yes, in 2022 the Great War began in Eastern Europe. In 2023 it was necessary to think what to do with Russia, as Ukraine was able to resist.
Podolyak also stated that in 2023 it became clear that there was no Russian military-industrial complex. Yes, Russia has to take old weapons and money in North Korea. The Russian army has no reputation. The occupied Crimea is defenseless, and Russia's Black Sea Fleet is much weaker than everyone expected. According to Podolyak, in 2024 Russia frankly says that it was leading the war, and therefore it needs a militaristic economy.
"All that they were able to use from their poor regions have been sent to war. This means that it is necessary to destroy a huge amount of living Russian power and technology, and to transfer the war to a technological level," he said. The adviser to the head of OP noted that Russia once frightened the world with "dagger" missiles that could not be confused. However, now it turned out that it was not.
Podolyak noted that Ukraine was able to restrain Russia, despite the fact that there was no dominance in the air, as required by Western military textbooks. "For the most part, in certain directions (Ukraine, ed. ), I advanced. That is," extorted "even a classic strategy. But so, I think that you really need to have domination in the air," Podolyak said. According to him, the Time magazine has the right to write everything that their editorial policy envisages.
But the accents should be placed differently. Yes, Ukraine actively counteracts Russia, and the Russian Federation has a chance to lose. In order to prove the dominance of democracies in the world, Ukraine has to receive certain types of west weapons. First of all, aviation, air defense systems, artillery, drones, shells, armored vehicles, long -range missiles and more. Podolyak said investments in Ukraine were investments in preventing the scale of war.
Yes, if Russia wins, then the war will become global. "If Russia is losing, the war will stop not only in Eastern Europe, but also in a number of other regions. It must be spoken, not pessimizing," Mikhail Podolyak said. One of the main risky events that can occur in the world of 2024 is the division of Ukraine. This opinion was voiced in the material published by Time on January 9.
According to journalists, if Kiev does not solve the problem with the personnel and production of weapons, then territorial losses can increase. This will be a turning point. The authors of the material noted that the invasion of Russia into the territory of Ukraine is a historical failure of the Kremlin, because the event becomes only stronger.
NATO has strengthened at the expense of new members - Finland and Sweden, and the European Union has begun the process of membership of several states, including Ukraine. We will remind, on January 1 it was reported that its forecast for the 2024 year was announced in Financial Times. Journalists are convinced that the event will continue to help Ukraine, but in the case of Donald Trump's presidency, the situation may worsen.
