This was in an interview the tough ex Commander in Chief granted to Ukrainka Pravda. It appears he calls it as he sees it. Nevertheless not the kind of assessments Zelensky wants the popular General he rewarded with an Ambassadorship to London, after firing him, to be spreading publicly. I bet the mediaholic Zelensky is apoplectic! This goes against every detail of the Ukrainian Duce's own Victory Plan. The Duce's Victory Plan is a 'we can do it plan'. 'We' being Nato, Eu, etc. Now the respected ex Commander in Chief, and easily Hero of Ukraine, is saying Europe cannot do it! Unconscionable!
Is Zaluzhnyi angling for Zelensky's job?
Some unpleasant facts. If Ukraine is pushed to negotiate by some in the Eu, an uncontrollable eccentric like Zelensky in power, with his daily public tantrums, will immeasurably complicate what to start with will be a difficult project. The Ukrainian Duce will be constantly on TV insinuating his beloved Ukraine is being stabbed in the back. That Europe can do it, if it only had the balls. Clearly not what that part of Europe interested in closing the Ukrainian Folder would want to keep hearing. In that case the no bull sh*t Zaluzhnyi is far more preferable as President of Ukraine.
Is Gen Valerii Zaluzhnyii dabbling in Bonapartism?
Politics aside, the General was making a case about Europe's ability to wage of attrition against Russia. It would be nice if the full interview were available in English. The nefarious Ukrainska Pravda has the full thing but in Bandera language. Only excerpts of it in the English language section!
Below the General address the case of drones and missiles.

"If we are talking about short-term military actions, European countries are likely prepared. But the essence of the question was whether they are ready for a war of attrition. Let’s just calculate. In October, Ukraine was struck by approximately 1,643 Shahed drones and around 200 missiles targeting its civilian energy infrastructure. The trend is that these numbers will increase. Only this month (November 2024), if we count the number of Shaheds and missiles targeting civilian infrastructure, it will approach 3,000 — and the month isn’t even over," Zaluzhnyi noted.
"Do European countries or Britain have at least 5,000 missiles for Patriot systems to intercept guided bombs? I doubt it. They are very expensive, and as a result, it’s impossible to stockpile large quantities because production is challenging. Thus, from this military perspective, one could say they are probably not ready (for a prolonged war with Russia)," he opined.

What maybe was not asked of the General by Ukrainska Pravda is how many ATACMs and drones on the Eu + Ukraine side; and does Russia also have their stock of missiles for S300 and S400 to cope with a deluge of ATACMs.
