'..we need to have a very clear technical strategy for this war together with our allies, because this is crucial for Ukraine’s victory.''Ukraine Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhnyi’s article was never about stalemate, but about the technological adaptations needed for victory. This is totally achievable – if the West truly decides it wants Ukraine to win the war.
..
..the actual message, which was to turn attention to the technological landscape of the war.
This is extremely important and we need to have a very clear technical strategy for this war together with our allies, because this is crucial for Ukraine’s victory.

Ukraine can absolutely win this war, and I think it will win this war. But we need to do certain things for that.

..Ukraine can absolutely win this war, and I think it will win this war. But we need to do certain things for that.
1) First of all, we need the coalition to want Ukraine to win this war and stop being hesitant about that. Because that hesitation is just pathetic, to be honest, in many cases. The coalition invested hundreds of billions into Ukraine and they still cannot entertain the idea of its victory. It’s long past due for us to get on the same page of where we’re going.
2) Secondly, people have to throw away the idea that negotiation off-ramp is possible. It is not.
3) Thirdly, when we decide that we’re going to win (and Ukraine decided that from the very beginning), we need to have a technological fulfillment of the requested capabilities.
If that happens, then Ukraine has all the forces, and our main goal right now is to make sure that that happens.
..
..the West has the capacity to create those instruments. It’s not like they are waiting for Ukraine in the warehouse. Some are, and some are not.
But the Western coalition has all the capacity to prevail in this war. If, technologically speaking, we compare Iran and Russia and the UK, US, and EU — come on, it is not a fair comparison.
Of course, the West can be stronger. We simply need to want that.'
