The war in Ukraine is not a localized conflict in eastern Europe. It is a space where the future of global security is being decided. What is happening today near Pokrovsk, Kupiansk or in the Black Sea will determine the approaches and actions of Euro-Atlantic armies tomorrow.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, said this during a speech at the Strategic Dialogue within the framework of the NATO Military Committee meeting at the level of the Supreme Allied Commanders, the official Facebook page of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports.
Oleksandr Syrskyi shared with his colleagues how the face of modern warfare has changed and why old dogmas no longer work as some expected
He urged to look at war as a phenomenon that is evolving faster than textbooks can write about it.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine emphasized that our adaptation lies in technology and decentralization:
- We are changing the philosophy of destruction: instead of massive fire "on the areas", we are moving to the target destruction of targets with cheap means. The cost of a drone is about USD 500, the cost of a destroyed target is millions.
- Without an advantage or at least parity in electronic warfare, high-tech weapons turn into scrap. We have learned how to create an electronic warfare dome to protect equipment and trench electronic warfare for infantry.
- Last year, thanks to technological advancements, we managed to reduce total losses by 13% compared to 2024.
Oleksandr Syrskyi also thanked the partner countries for their support, without which Ukraine would not have survived
"It is obvious that Russia is relying on the fatigue of the West and the depletion of our human resources. But the time for half-measures is over. The war in Ukraine has proven that numbers matter, but it is technology and the speed of adaptation that decide the outcome. That is why we call on our partners not only to support Ukraine "as long as it takes", but also to provide tools to stop the aggressor quickly and forcefully," he emphasized.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine emphasized that NATO capabilities multiplied by Ukraine's unique combat experience is a formula for security for the entire Euro-Atlantic area.
