Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov believes that Ukraine will win the war by next summer. In an interview with CNN, he said he sees the 2024 NATO summit as an opportunity for Ukraine to join the alliance.
“Who knows, maybe this will be a very important day for Ukraine. This is just my prediction,” the minister added. When asked if he thought the war would be over by next summer, he quickly replied, “Yes. We will win this war.”
Reznikov is convinced that after the end of the war Ukraine’s membership in NATO will be in the interest of the Alliance itself. “Because we have become a real eastern shield of NATO and Europe.

Ukraine gained real combat experience – how to contain the Russians, defeat them, beat them with standard NATO weapons,” he said, quoted by the UNIAN agency.
“Ukrainian pilots will begin training how to fly American F-16 fighter jets in August, and the training will take at least six months,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov also said.
“In addition, Ukraine must create the necessary infrastructure for these fighters,” the Ukrainian minister pointed out.
According to Reznikov, there is an opportunity for Ukrainian pilots to fly the F-16 in the spring of next year.
