Nedzelsky explains what will allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to "turn the tide" at the front in their favor
Petro Nedzelsky, a reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and a military expert, believes that receiving weapons, aircraft, artillery and ammunition from the United States will significantly strengthen the Defense Forces . It can also significantly change the situation at the front in our favor in the short term.
Nedzelski emphasized that Ukrainian defenders have enough heroism and experience to cope with any challenges. He expressed this opinion in an exclusive interview with OBOZ.UA.
"Making predictions is a very ungrateful business, because 90% of military forecasts do not come true. But if we are provided with weapons from the United States, if we get aviation, artillery, ammunition, it will significantly strengthen the power of our troops and we will definitely succeed. I am convinced that the situation at the front will change radically in the near future, in our favor. Our soldiers have more than enough heroism and experience," the expert said.
He predicted that in the future Europe may become our main partner in terms of military aid.
"But I must say that the assistance that Europe has started to provide us today is also too late. When Russia's large-scale aggression against us began, we had nothing," Nedzelsky said.
He added that at the beginning, the Ukrainian Armed Forces faced an army that was ten times larger in numbers, weapons, armored vehicles, and more. We had only one big advantage - the heroism of our soldiers.
"And now Europe has finally realized the danger of Putin and his imperial ambitions. After all, if Ukraine falls, Europe will be next. Putin and his politicians have said this more than once, saying that we will reach the English Channel. So, Europe has started to help us seriously, and we should be honored and praised. But I have experienced firsthand what it is like to fight when there are no weapons. If we had the appropriate weapons earlier, the situation at the front would be completely different today," the military expert emphasized.
Earlier, the UK announced that Ukraine will receive the largest military aid package in the amount of 500 million pounds ($617 million). Among other things, it will include additional long-range Storm Shadow missiles.
As reported by OBOZ.UA, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that after the United States announced the supply of ATACMS missiles to Ukraine, Germany should transfer Taurus cruise missiles. According to him, the final decision now depends on Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
