🇺🇦🇷🇺 The man who once commanded Ukraine’s entire army has a warning for the West: stop declaring Russia defeated

Valerii Zaluzhnyi, now Kyiv’s ambassador to the UK, argues the growing chorus calling the war effectively lost for Moscow is dangerously misreading the board.

Drones and precision strikes have killed the decisive breakthrough, success is measured in meters, and the battlefield has settled into mutual denial.

Russia cannot conquer Ukraine, and Ukraine cannot yet liberate everything by force.

His sharpest point cuts at the alliance itself.

NATO’s whole strategic culture was built around avoiding escalation, and Valerii questions whether an institution designed to manage crises can actually shape outcomes in modern war.

Wars of attrition are decided by endurance, and endurance is a question for societies, not front lines.
