Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhnyy is confident that 2024 will be a different year, stressing that everything is being done to make it so, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
"I can assure you that 2024, in military terms, will be different from 2023. In any case, we are doing everything for this. Unfortunately, I must state that the enemy is not far behind us... You can see what is happening. Especially in recent days, there has been a powerful confrontation at the level of technology, first of all. But we are not slowing down in this regard," he said.
Zaluzhnyy also thanked the Ministry of Defence for supporting all the technological "breakthroughs" that have been proposed.
"I think we will succeed. I am sure of it," he said.
According to Zaluzhnyy, 2024 "will not just be different, it has to be different, otherwise we will face what I wrote about in my article (an article for The Economist - ed.)".
"Accordingly, we have found these problems, and we have already found about 90% of the solutions to the issues that will need to be resolved in order to act more efficiently next year and, most importantly, to save people. We are working on this. Our partners, who were also interested in this issue, absolutely agreed with us," he added.
