«The first, back in March, no one could have imagined that Ukraine would demonstrate such a speed and scale of mastering heavy Western weapons. In 4 months, we have come a long way from completely denying the idea of providing us with 155-mm artillery, which we now take for granted, to the use of HIMARS against the Russian occupiers. Every step we started with the same answer – «it’s impossible». Despite this, our level of interoperability with the armies of the Alliance is growing rapidly. Secondly, we have experience in front of our eyes. About a year ago in Brussels, when I was still vice-premier for reintegration, a very wise man and my friend Mircea Geoană told the story,» he said.
Reznikov expressed confidence that one day Ukraine will be recognized as one of the «cornerstones of the European security space.»
«I am sure that Ukraine will be recognized as one of the cornerstones of Europe’s security space and an important component of the collective security system of the free world. Our soldiers and the entire Ukrainian people are proving this status at an incredibly high cost,» – believes the head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
