Andriy Biletsky, the commander of the Third Army Corps, believes that for every country there is an important critical moment when it must be ready to defend its interests. In 2014, Russia took advantage of such a moment for Ukraine, but Biletsky is confident that a similar situation will also arise for the Russian Federation.
To achieve success, he advises stopping the opponent, not agreeing to conditions that limit sovereignty, and developing the economy. Biletsky believes that a strong army depends on a successful economy and a scientific-industrial base.
'There will be a good economy, there will be good demographics, then a good army can be created. That is, there will be a normal scientific and industrial base, again this is the economy, there will be normal weapons, equipment, and so on. That's it, and then we win,' he concluded.
Secretary General of NATO Mark Rutte believes that the main reason for the continuation of the war between Russia and Ukraine is President Putin's actions. Recent statements from the Russian leader indicate the continuation of the conflict, even amid limited mediators on the path to peace.
In conclusion, Biletsky emphasized the importance of each country's readiness to defend its interests, and is confident that the best way to protect oneself is through a developed economy and a strong army.
