Ukraine War Risks Stalemate, Armed Forces Chief Says
In sobering assessment, Valeriy Zaluzhniy says Ukraine is unlikely to achieve major breakthrough without upgrade to military capabilities

The commander of Ukraine’s armed forces says the war with Russia is at risk of becoming a stalemate and Kyiv would need a major upgrade in weapons and technological capabilities to regain the initiative.

In an interview and essay for the Economist, Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhniy, Ukraine’s top military commander, said the war was entering a new phase of “static and attritional fighting, as in the First World War.”
