He wrote about this in an article for the Polish security think tank, the Eastern Flank Institute.“As expected, creating a new security architecture for the European continent will take at least five years, accompanied both by the inertia linked to the hope of maintaining an acceptable way of life and by the need to overcome barriers within democratic societies,” Zaluzhnyi noted.He also emphasized that in the war against Ukraine, the Russians have built a new army that collects, analyzes, and immediately applies combat experience.According to the former commander-in-chief, a large-scale reform of the Russian armed forces is inevitable during the war and likely afterward. He notes that the national composition of Russian prisoners suggests that countries like China, Iran, and North Korea may be gaining experience.“Considering trends in scientific and technological progress in modern combat and the completion of a fundamentally new warfighting doctrine, this reform will likely be completed no later than 2030. It will result in armed forces of robots, autonomous systems, and artificial intelligence, united by experience and existing doctrines. Most importantly, they will be able to scale their new capabilities to the required level. This will be a new arms race for control over the global security system,” Zaluzhnyi asserts.Former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and now Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom Valerii Zaluzhnyi has stated that he does not support the idea of holding elections during the war.
