Ukraine receives help from allies and partners that can effectively use. Despite this, it is necessary to keep a course on armaments, own production and return to nuclear status.
This Channel 24 was told by a colonel of the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a military expert, a pilot- instructor Roman Svitan. According to him, the bet on Ukraine to change the landmarks from Germany and France to the USA and Great Britain in 2019 was correct.
Return to nuclear status
Roman Svitan noted that Ukraine should join NATO and return nuclear weapons. He said that Ukraine partially has the capacity for this, but the expensive uranium enrichment process may become an obstacle.
At the same time, he stressed that the Ukrainian army is already actually part of NATO, despite the fact that Ukraine is still officially did not join the alliance.
“The Armed Forces of Ukraine are already unequivocally considered one of the strongest armies in the NATO structure. We are fighting with their weapons and moving to NATO standards. We will definitely be in NATO, but we also need to see ourselves as a nuclear state,” said Roman Svitan.
Focus on the US and the UK
Roman Svitan considers it right to change the diplomatic orientations to the UK, the US and Poland. This happened after Volodymyr Zelensky became president of Ukraine in 2019.

It was then that German ex-chancellor Angela Merkel tried to launch Nord Stream 2 and plunge Europe into even greater dependence on Russia.
The rise of Ukroboronprom
The Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine believes that Ukraine should already develop its military -industrial complex and produce weapons for themselves. It is not yet possible to debug this production in Ukraine, since Russia can get missiles anywhere.
Definitely needs to be developed. Here it is very important not to lose technology, engineering warehouse and machine park. This is very important, but you can launch on the territory of our neighbors and start restoring the main thing,” Svitan said.
The military expert noted that, first of all, the production of shells and self-propelled guns should be resumed. He also believes that Ukraine has a good missile potential and can produce missiles better than ATACMS and Harpoon.
The Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is convinced that Ukraine can produce MLRS no worse than HIMARS, and therefore you need to either take production licenses or produce weapons on their own.
