The author of the controversial Time magazine article, Simon Shuster, does not have the information associated with the Supreme Commander in Chief or the War Cabinet to make statements about Ukraine's ability to win on the battlefield.
This assessment was made by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Alexey Danilov during the UP live.
According to him, “nothing like what is described in the article is happening in the corridors of power.” Moreover, says Danilov, the meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Headquarters does not take place in the manner described in the article.

– Regarding the fact that he (President Vladimir Zelensky – Ed .) comes and goes from the military room. This is some kind of nonsense from a person who is not clear about what he is crying out for… Meetings of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, meetings of military cabinets in the headquarters format take place constantly.
Today the 114th meeting of the Headquarters took place. At each meeting of Headquarters, the president pays maximum attention to problems directly from the front, because all representatives of the top military leadership participate there. To say that someone came and left in a hurry is strange,” he said.
Danilov also says that he does not understand where the author got these anonymous sources from the President’s Office.
— This anonymity raises many questions for me. If you have any position, if you believe that our country cannot win, then you have no right to be near our president. This anonymous underhandedness does great harm, first of all, to our country,” he said.
The NSDC Secretary added that the authorities must answer what these anonymous sources are.
In addition, Alexey Danilov says that the issue of Ukraine’s losses in the war is similar to the narratives used by Russian propaganda.
“I want to say: we understand what our losses are, and what he wrote there does not correspond to reality at all,” the NSDC secretary added.
At the same time, Danilov added that during war, a lot of emotions are seething and there is a lot of sensitive information and statements “on nerves.”

The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council says that previously there were cases when such materials were subject to correction, clarification of positions, and the like.
Let us recall that earlier, Advisor to the Head of the Presidential Office, Mykhailo Podolyak, called Time’s article about Vladimir Zelensky “the subjective point of view of a particular journalist.”
The Time piece by Simon Schuster discussed the problems President Vladimir Zelensky faces during the Russian-Ukrainian war. The problems described in the article concerned both the situation in relations with Ukraine’s partners and within the state.
