Ukrainian general explains how to force Putin to follow international law

He shared the information on Espreso TV.

"The plan, which will be approved by the Trump administration and agreed upon with Europe, must be developed and initiated by our state. But I know Trump's team, which often lacks qualifications and has an opposing vision. However, for them to consolidate their efforts and choose the right course of action, it is necessary to work with Trump's team and Trump himself. This is the only way to protect our position," Malomuzh emphasized.

According to the general, forcing Russia to comply with the principles of international law requires deep systemic work. A serious struggle is currently underway regarding Ukraine and the future world order. Ukraine needs a model with several key aspects.

"One of the main ones is real assistance to Ukraine and the involvement of all means of support in the military sphere. This includes precision weapons, a vast amount of ammunition, and systems ensuring all processes through all channels, including intelligence and logistics.

This even extends to troop deployment, as well as a clear response plan in case Russia threatens to use nuclear weapons. These are part of the operational measures. Additionally, actions must be taken against Putin himself, his inner circle, relatives, and the so-called elites who support him and shape his militaristic stance.

There is also the influence on Russian society, which is very vulnerable. Currently, 46 such elements have been developed, including sanctions and the drop in oil and gas prices. In other words, there are many tools and specific action programs," Malomuzh stressed.

• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that if Ukraine is not in NATO, it will need NATO-standard weaponry and an army of 1.5 million soldiers.
