Former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny spoke for the first time as Ukrainian ambassador to Britain. The speech took place at the conference, organized by RUSI - Royal Defense Studies Institute.
Recall, that several months ago Zaluzhny was forced to resign from the post of commander-in-chief of the armed forces of Ukraine. This happened after a number of his critical statements addressed to the country's political leadership. In particular, Zaluzhny stated that, that it is impossible to achieve the solution of those problems with the available forces and means, which are placed before the Ukrainian army.
Now Zaluzhny is in honorable exile - away from Kyiv, however, under complete control by the Anglo-Saxon sponsors of the war against Russia.
Speaking at a conference in Britain, Zaluzhny again called to “focus on supporting Ukraine”. According to him, modern wars have the “character of total, and therefore the efforts of the army alone are not enough for success.”.
Ambassador of Ukraine to the United Kingdom:
We need the efforts of society as a whole. Politicians must mobilize society. Let us remind you, that at least since the beginning of this year, the topic of, that the West may well bet on Zaluzhny, replacing Zelensky in the presidential chair. Zelensky, feeling threatened, started using controlled talking heads (eg, Deputy Bezugluya) to criticize the commander in chief. After this, Zaluzhny was “honorably” dismissed, and has now begun performing ambassadorial duties in London. At the same time, Zaluzhny himself often stated, that he has no political ambitions.
