The Chief of the Military Intelligence of Ukraine said: “After this war, definitely, a lot of military science, tactics of warfare, the strategy will be changed – based on the way this war progressed.

“Undoubtedly, Ukrainian servicemen are already among the best specialists in the world.”

He added: “If only for the reason that this is the first fully conventional war after the Second World War, in which absolutely all available types of weapons are used – from airborne cruise missiles to cruise missiles from submarines.

“Anyway, we are dealing with quite a powerful enemy. But, as we have all seen, the Ukrainian army has managed to withstand, is moving forward, the counteroffensive is advancing, and our victory is getting closer every day.”
