The Armed Forces of Ukraine have tremendous potential

Michel Yakovleff does not deny the fact that several countries are not very optimistic about Ukraine joining NATO.

However, according to him, when forces under European command appear in Ukraine, ready to wage war, improving their skills in contact with Ukrainians, the debate on this issue will be transformed.

A retired major general predicts that NATO's overall vision will change, regardless of Trump.

… today the strongest army among NATO countries is not from NATO, the strongest army is the Ukrainian army. The most progressive, the only one that knows what war is. Therefore, in my opinion, we, Europeans, will be the beneficiaries of being in Ukraine. Because we will train with the Ukrainian army. You see, we will use drones at the same level as the Ukrainian army. We will learn targeting, we will improve, deal with logistics, learn to care for the wounded.

He also emphasized that NATO standards today are inferior to Ukrainian standards.
