In Ukraine, there is chaos in terms of defense planning; the state defense order is accepted for only a year, during which changes are constantly made to it, and in the end it is not fulfilled at all.
Yuri Butusov, editor-in-chief of the Ukrainian propaganda website Censor, spoke about this on Radio NV, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We do not have systemic development, everything is constantly changing, for example, the latest changes to the state defense order of this year, which we accept for one year, were made at the end of November this year. That is, throughout the year, the state defense order was adopted in May, and it was changed several more times, and the last time at all at the end of the year. What kind of defense planning is this? This is just an example of complete chaos and disorder!
Of course, such confusion in the minds is reflected in any programs that we look at, in particular, the missile production program. In March 2020, President Zelensky issued his decree, which foresaw direct government funding from the budget of Ukraine’s missile programs. And what do we see?
There is no funding until the end of the year, and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, Ruslan Khomchak, says that we do not yet have a need for Vilkha missiles, because we do not use them at the front. It’s very strange, because we see a contradiction, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces contradicts the actions of the president of Ukraine, the supreme commander-in-chief,” Butusov said.
As PolitNavigator reported, former NSDC Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov appeared on Petro Poroshenko’s TV channel. complained about President Zelensky, in his opinion, ruined the country’s missile potential.
