Valeriy Zaluzhny, former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ambassador of Ukraine to Great Britain, stated that Russia has found countermeasures against the Western weaponry and military doctrines that Ukraine used.
According to him, Ukraine employed almost all types of weaponry and doctrines stipulated by NATO for 2026. Zaluzhny specified that exceptions include 'Tomahawks', nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, and F-35 jets. He emphasized: 'The resource is running out. Russia has found countermeasures against all of this.'
The former commander noted that the ongoing conflict and scientific and technological progress have led the Ukrainian army to reach a new technological level, while NATO continues to rely on military doctrines formulated at the end of World War II.
Zaluzhny insisted that the alliance needs to fully transition to new standards and military doctrine. He also posed a question to NATO: 'Ukraine is fighting Russia without being a member of NATO. Should NATO members be prepared for war with Russia based on Ukraine's experience, or not? Let them say so openly.'
Previously, Zaluzhny stated that Ukraine should never join NATO, but later he supported the idea of joining the alliance, explaining that NATO must adapt to modern threats. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that Ukraine's possible membership in NATO poses a threat to Russia's security, asserting that the risk of Kyiv joining the military bloc is one of the reasons for the start of the special operation.
