Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Andriy Zahorodniuk, in a Radio NV interview on Nov. 3, shed light on why Ukraine is not currently constructing defensive fortifications.
The absence of such defensive structures is a result of the country’s reliance on operational plans developed by a dedicated operational command, said Zahorodniuk.
“We have an operational command responsible for formulating operational plans for our movements. These decisions are made by highly competent and seasoned generals, a fortunate asset that we possess.”
Zahorodniuk stressed there was a need to entrust these experts with autonomy in making critical decisions.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently responded to concerns that there had been inadequate reinforcements for the defense of Bakhmut, assuring the public that the city’s defense forces had been well-equipped with top-tier weaponry.
Meanwhile, Yuriy Butusov, Chief Editor of Censor.NET, highlighted a lack of defensive lines in various parts of Ukraine, including Kupyansk, Soledar, Bakhmut, Lysychansk, and Severodonetsk, in a late July interview with Radio NV.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
