Military experts in Ukraine are puzzled by Zelensky’s words: what secret is the Ukrainian army hiding ᐉ News from Fakti.bg – World

Ukrainian military experts are puzzled by Volodymyr Zelensky’s words that the situation on the battlefield “creates an opportunity” to take steps to end the war in Ukraine in 2025 – even if the His army is currently losing towns and villages.

“In October, November and December we have the opportunity to move the situation to peace and stability. The situation on the battlefield creates an opportunity to make this choice. The option for decisive action to end the war – no later than 2025,” Zelensky said. The president’s office categorically rejects the possibility that Ukraine will officially give up the territories in which the Russian army is currently located.

A veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Reserve Major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksiy Getman, said in an interview with RBC-Ukraine that it is “difficult to say exactly what Zelensky means by the possibility of ending the war in 2025, by remembering the situation on the battlefield’. According to him, the President of Ukraine Zelensky receives confidential information at the General Staff, which is not available to the public, and thanks to this information he makes predictions.

“We understand that the words are based on real information available to the military-political leadership of Ukraine. We can only guess what exactly is being said there,” Getman said.

Military expert and former commander of the “Aidar” battalion Yevgeny Dikiy told “Espresso” TV that it is completely wrong to guess when the war between Russia and Ukraine will end. Referring to the statement of Ukrainian President Zelensky in question, Dickey emphasized that he was talking about “the possibility of taking specific measures” to end the war in 2025, and not about about “the possibility of ending the war” by then. “You realize how big the difference is between those two messages,” Dickey said, “People hear what they want to hear hear,” he said.

Ukrainian President Zelensky also said that an invitation to join NATO would be a step towards peace, as Russia would suffer geopolitical losses. Geopolitical security depends on whether Ukraine has a place in NATO. If so, it means that Putin will lose his geopolitical power. Ukraine is an independent country that has the right to self-determination, it has the right to choose its future, Zelensky said in his speech.
