KYIV. Dec 1 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine should have its own Ukrainian scenario of response to ongoing Russian aggression and positions on international platforms for the next year, 2024, said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, adding that such scenarios are now being analyzed in the state.
“The head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine [Oleksandra Lytvynenko] presented a report on possible Russian actions and the international situation for the next year at the Staff meeting. We are analyzing all possible scenarios, and there must be our Ukrainian scenario for 2024. Specific operations with entirely specific justifications that will give Ukraine entirely specific results,” he said in an evening address.
According to Zelenskyy, “Everything necessary for our state, our brigades, these specific results must be calculated precisely.”
He emphasized that this, in particular, concerns issues of mobilization. The President also noted that he expects comprehensive decisions on changes to it from the authorities.
“Everyone in Ukraine understands that changes are needed in this area. It’s not just about the number of those who can be mobilized. It’s about terms – for everyone currently in the military – for demobilization – and for those who will join the military. And it’s about conditions. These are comprehensive things that military leadership and the Ministry of Defense have to work out and present to the Staff for approval. Today, there were some proposals. I am waiting for integrated solutions,” Zelenskyy said.
