NATO Supreme Commander Europe Praises "Excellent Strategy" warfare by Ukraine.
The course of the war in Ukraine is becoming increasingly difficult to predict, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces now have an “excellent strategy” for waging war.
This was stated by NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Christopher Cavoli, writes the Voice of America.
“One of the biggest lessons we can learn from the war in Ukraine is that in modern wars, you either win quickly or you have a long, drawn-out war full of unpredictable twists and turns. And that's where we are now,” the general said.
He expressed the opinion that the course of the war will depend on the ability to “generate force.” In particular, it depends on which side can accumulate “quality power faster and use it” while there is an opportunity.
At the same time, the military man noted that the Ukrainians generate such force and skillfully build a strategy: “For several months, the Ukrainians have been focused on protecting the eastern territories, preventing Russia from using Crimea and southern Ukraine for attack, maintaining their access to the Black Sea and generating force. Therefore I think they have a great strategy. It's just a matter of continuing to execute it.”
Cavoli also emphasized that a key part of the “generation of power” for Ukraine depends on the EU and NATO countries.
“This will require us to accumulate and produce more equipment than we thought two years ago,” he said.
When asked what to do for countries that have spent a lot of resources helping Ukraine and find it difficult to continue support or solve internal problems, Cavoli replied that “the result of the fighting in Ukraine is vital for the future of European and global security”.
At the same time, he emphasized that the world should “not have any illusions” regarding the end of the war in Ukraine.
“At the end of the conflict in Ukraine, no matter how it ends, we will have a very big problem with Russia. We will have a situation where Russia is rebuilding its strength, located on the borders of NATO, and it will be led by predominantly the same people , as now, and who is convinced that we are the enemy, and also very, very angry,” the military man described the situation.
He said that EU and NATO production must be prepared for this challenge.
At the same time, Cavoli added that the main problem so far is not so much finance as the production of military equipment. “We have a little more difficulty with procurement. And this is truly a strategic problem for the alliance,” said the general.
We recall that earlier the Commander-in-Chief of NATO Allied Forces in Europe, Christopher Cavoli, said that NATO has a plan to protect the Baltic countries so that Russia does not repeat Bucha, Irpen and Izyum there.
