He urged European countries to change their approaches to defense.
Ukraine's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, urged Europeans to develop a new security system, as the system formed after 1945 year does not meet the new realities. He stated this during a conversation with Dutch officers participating in the Higher Defence Education training program.
According to Zaluzhnyi, Europe needs new doctrines and a security system that take into account the realities of modern warfare.
“It's not only about technology and drones, but also about the tactics of their use, integration into the organizational structure of the armed forces, and establishing new productions. Old systems operate on inertia — the same weapons manufacturers have multi-million contracts written for decades ahead. Are they interested in having their niche taken by new cheap drones? The answer is obvious,” said Zaluzhnyi.
For small European countries that do not have significant mobilization resources, according to Zaluzhnyi, intelligent mobilization and active adoption of defense technologies are necessary.
“But the main thing I always emphasize in such conversations with Europeans is the political will to change. Clear political goals, a strategy to achieve them, and willingness to make not always popular decisions are needed. Europe has resources, technology, and in its allies one of the two countries in the world with real modern-war experience — Ukraine. With Ukrainian experience there are all possibilities to build a common European security system that is effective in the world of new threats,” noted Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
Earlier, STEM Center analyst Agil Rustamzade reported that NATO is developing a new concept of deterring Russia on the eastern flank, taking into account Ukrainian experience. This strategy radically changes the logic of defense construction, procurement structures, and the nature of future conflicts.
