Zaluzhny also named the factors necessary for Ukraine to win:
▪ Russia's advantage in aviation complicated the offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. We need air superiority to conduct large-scale ground operations.
▪Ukraine needs to launch massive strikes using decoys and attack UAVs to overload Russia's air defense systems. We also need electronic warfare systems, they are the key to victory in the drone war.
▪️Counter-battery warfare. The Ukrainian Armed Forces need to build local GPS fields using ground-based antennas, and not just satellites. More kamikaze UAVs are needed to destroy Russian artillery.
▪️Fourth task – breakthrough technology min. Western supplies for mine clearance have proven insufficient given the scale of Russian minefields. We need radar sensors that use invisible pulses of light to detect mines in the ground and smoke projection systems.

▪️Weapons supplied by the West were enough to support Ukraine in the war, but not enough to defeat the Russian Federation. This war cannot be won with weapons of the past generation and outdated methods.
▪️We have enough soldiers now. But we need to look for solutions for a speedy victory. Because sooner or later we will discover that we simply do not have enough people to fight.
