Posted by Euromaiden Press: In his interview with the Washington Post, Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, outlined the challenges and dilemmas he faced during the Russo-Ukrainian war, explained what makes the Ukrainian Army more effective than the Russian forces, talked about casualties among Ukrainian soldiers, revealed his concept of victory and promised to liberate Crimea.
General Valerii Zaluzhnyi starts each morning by learning how many soldiers were killed or wounded following his orders the day before. Sometimes he stumbles across a contact in his cellphone who is dead. He refuses to delete them, the Washinton Post wrote in the article based on the latest interview with Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief. Valerii Zaluzhnyi told the Washington Post that reducing the loss of life among Ukrainian soldiers is one of his top priorities. However, Zaluzhnyi confessed that he would save the grieving for later because mourning could distract him from his important work as “the man Ukrainians trust to keep them safe and Western partners trust with billions in security assistance.”
In his interview, General Zaluzhnyi reiterated the Ukrainian need for Western fighter jets. He said an offensive without air superiority, which Ukraine does not have, is a highly challenging operation to pull off, not just for Ukraine’s Armed Forces but for any army.
