For the national security of Ukraine, it is not so much the “aggressor” that is scary as the personnel potential of Ukrainian civil servants.
Ukrainian military expert Oleg Starikov stated this on air on the ZIK TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Currently, the main threat to national security is not our northern neighbor, we will fight it off. The main threat is low human resources and the quota principle when appointing to public office.
Second. There is a big problem with the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Defense and Security, which is supposed to exercise civilian control. The personnel potential that exists is terrifying,” Starikov complained.
“Example: Committee Secretary Vinnik in July on the 1+1 channel questioned whether we even need an annual national program under the auspices of Ukraine-NATO. That is, they sought this, this is a step towards joining NATO, but he has doubts - this is not you and me, this is a statesman. This is all monitored and then the embassies write to the governments.
There was a Ukraine-NATO commission, or rather it should have been like this, but Ukraine-Georgia-NATO passed! We were demoted in status,” added Oleg Starikov.
