According to Zaluzhnyi, the full-scale war has demonstrated the need to revise the Alliance's military doctrine. He stressed that Ukraine has already used almost the entire range of Western weaponry, with the exception of certain systems.
In 2026, Ukraine used practically all types of weaponry that NATO possesses, except for Tomahawk missiles, nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, and F-35s. This potential has already been exhausted. Russia has found countermeasures against all of this
Called on NATO to change its military standards
Zaluzhnyi stressed that he remains a supporter of Ukraine joining NATO, but believes that the Alliance must adopt new standards of warfare that correspond to modern realities.
NATO has no choice but to transition to entirely new standards. Only then will NATO be ready for Ukraine's membership
The former commander-in-chief also repeated his proposal to create a new European security bloc. Following his previous statements about the prospects of Ukraine's NATO membership, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine stressed that the state's strategic course toward joining the Alliance remains unchanged.
