Next year will be challenging - military expert Zgurets on Ukraine's new miliitary strategy

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

"Any scenario we are currently calculating is subject to significant changes. Because life affects certain realities. We understand that next year will be difficult. It will involve the formation and implementation of a new Ukrainian strategy aimed at active defense, the establishment of fortifications, new reserves, and the reformatting of approaches to the command and control system. All this will take place in alliance with American and European partners," Zgurets said.

According to the military expert, next year, solutions may be developed that will ensure a more systematic approach to the defense of Ukraine and the resources accumulation for further actions related to repelling Russian forces.

"How will this be reflected in the political background? This is a task for our diplomacy and partners. Because sometimes these political realities prevail over what is happening on the front line, which creates a real threat on the battlefield," emphasized Zgurets.
