First Deputy Minister of Defence Sergiy Boyev briefs Atlantic Council delegation on security situation
First Deputy Minister of Defence Sergiy Boyev briefed a delegation from the Atlantic Council, a U.S. think tank, on the current security situation and the enemy's plans.
He expressed gratitude to American diplomats and former officials for the support and assistance provided by the United States and the American people. The First Deputy Minister of Defence emphasized that Ukraine, more than anyone, strives for peace, but russia is not ready for it.
“russia continues to recruit people for the war through its propaganda, on which it spends over $4 billion annually. Ukraine continues its fight, but the support of partners remains critically important,” noted First Deputy Minister Sergiy Boyev.
He briefed the delegation on Ukraine’s priority areas of effort, critical needs, and the enemy’s plans. He also pointed out that russia is not ready for direct negotiations and exploits any ceasefire to strengthen its positions.
“russia's objectives remain unchanged – a weak, controlled Ukraine and its occupation. Therefore, we must continue strengthening our capabilities – developing the defense industry, training military personnel, and safeguarding critical infrastructure. The support of partners is very important in this regard,” stressed Sergiy Boyev.
