He considers the plans of the occupiers to seize four regions of Ukraine (Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, Donetsk and Luhansk) in 2025 as a sign of “weakness”. After all, in the past, according to him, Russia has already announced the “capture” of these regions.“They [росіяни] believed that their invasion would last a week. And here you are: a country still at war for over a thousand days, and Putin has taken a strategic step back in Syria. This is a signal to any country that looks at Russia as a kind of guarantor, a strategic ally and a security ally – when the stakes are higher than anything else, Putin simply leaves the game,” said the head of the British Ministry of Defense in a comment to NV .
He also stated that Britain continues to increase the supply of naval drones, air defense equipment and artillery to Ukraine. In 2025, for example, London wants to increase support – through cooperation in the field of defense industry, coordination of international allies, as well as through training, he said in
According to Gili, Ukraine’s allies should not only strengthen the Armed Forces, but also increase pressure on Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin so that he finds himself in a “weaker position.” And it is Ukraine that must decide when it can suspend hostilities and start negotiations with Russia, he noted.
“And we are also ready to increase the sanctions and the pressure we are ready to put on Putin and the people responsible for circumventing the sanctions, on the fleets of ships that help to avoid international condemnation and the embargo on oil and gas,” the British defense minister emphasized.
Other statements by GiliEarlier, UNIAN reported that the losses of the Russian occupiers in October were a record. On average, they lost 1,354 people (killed and wounded) per day.
In addition, the occupiers have only two months to fully adapt to the new technologies of Ukraine.
“Within two months after the Ukrainians set up production, hand over the new drones to their advanced forces, the Russians find a way to counter them,” he said.
