The statements and assumptions made in Ukraine that the leadership of the Ukrainian Armed Forces does not have a plan to achieve military goals are incorrect, the North Atlantic Alliance insists. This was announced by a senior NATO military official at a briefing in Brussels.


The NATO general, who spoke on condition of anonymity, emphasized that Ukraine's partners do not impose a specific approach to warfare on the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as they believe that the Armed Forces are more effective at determining their own planning, and that the task of the allies is to support Ukraine by providing the necessary weapons. At the same time, the Alliance representative denied the assumptions made by some politicians in Ukraine that "Zaluzhnyi has no plan."


"The way General Zaluzhnyi described the situation is accurate. But at the same time, when President Zelensky says that the progress is not fast enough, it is also true. But at the same time, Zaluzhnyi did not claim that he had no plan. Because he does have a plan! But the implementation of this plan is an extremely difficult task, even with the support that the West provides to Ukraine," he explained.


The Alliance also emphasizes the importance of individual successful operations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.


"The fact that they managed to achieve this in the Black Sea proves that Ukraine is extremely successful and has a plan to achieve success," the NATO general explained.
