Apparently someone advised Valeriy Fedorovych to reveal his inner “vatnik” to a wide audience.
I remember working at the Ministry of Defense with 2015 from 2019 years: colonels and generals laughed at NATO, sang Russian songs at gatherings, and blocked the implementation of standards. And this was already after Russia's invasion in 2014 and the occupation of Crimea, which was effectively handed over to Russia, yet none of the military were punished. Neither politicians nor MILITARY.
WE DIDN'T JOIN NATO SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THEM. They were cutting the army, embezzling weapons, resisting the development of leadership and the adoption of standards. Even the simple repainting of the insignia on the map in a different color, not like in the Soviet Union during the Cold War, required years of arguments.
These people never wanted, never understood, and never appreciated the Revolution of Dignity. The lack of genuine military reform kept them at the top of power, and then Zaluzhnyi and Syrskyi continued to rule, destroying initiative that was “ordered,” continuing to quietly hate the Alliance.
Don't let career generals into politics. They will sell out to Russia without looking back. Mentally they are still there, no matter how they disguise themselves. Gerasimov is for them the image of the senior commander, and scientific articles in Russian military journals are the ideal for a dissertation.
I hate it.
