A great Radio NV interview with Lieutenant General Serhii Naev — about Ukrainian and Russian resources for waging war, changes needed by the Armed Forces to make the defense more stable and the situation at the front under control, and the prospect of freezing the war in 2025.
— I’ll start by asking what you’ve been doing since you were fired in February?
— Yes, on February 11, 2024, he was dismissed from his position. I am at the disposal of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine and perform the tasks assigned to me.
— Are you still in military service?
— I am in military service, an active General of the Armed Forces.
“I found out from the media.” Nayev commented on his dismissal from the position of commander of the United Forces
– How is that? Explain for the general public.
— This means that I do not have a full-time position, I am at the disposal of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, and my tasks are assigned to me by those leaders whose military administration lists I am on.
– Is this the Minister of Defense?
— Yes, I am at his disposal.
— Are you at work or not in the military administration?
— Not with active work, not in the active position that would be assigned to me. But I perform tasks that belong to a general in the Armed Forces.
— The important conclusion of 2024 was that, first of all, we had a complete change, and even a repeated one, in the command of the Ukrainian army. By the way, is it possible to say that you are a member of the team of the former Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny?
— General Zaluzhnyi was the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, I was his subordinate. Before that, it was the other way around — I was once his manager, he was a subordinate. He is a very professional, good person with whom I had the honor to serve – both as a boss and as a subordinate. We were all members of the same team – ZSU.
— Very often now, especially in social networks, you can hear the phrase that the Ukrainian front is collapsing, the Russians are advancing. Their offensive continues from October 10, 2023 until now. Is it really fair to say that the front is collapsing and we are in a negative situation?
