Shalamanov: The main problem facing the Ukrainian military is the lack of ammunition - here we can help

The main tool to change the thinking in the Kremlin is to convince Russia that it cannot win this war and another solution must be sought, and such a solution is the peace plan of Zelensky, which includes the restoration of Ukrainian territories, the withdrawal of Russian troops and a fair trial, commented the former Minister of Defense

From the point of view of Ukraine, our help is insufficient, but the question is what are our possibilities. It is important that we are close to Ukraine and our aid can be delivered relatively quickly. This is what he said in "Face to Face" on bTV the former Minister of Defense Velizar Shalamanov, quoted by novini.bg.
The main problem facing the Ukrainian military is the lack of ammunition – we can help here. In the sphere of other priorities such as air defense and aircraft, our possibilities are very limited, but if we want to strengthen our cooperation with NATO partners, we could also provide this type of support, said Shalamanov.

The important thing is that if we provide a greater financial resource, the rearmament of our army can go at a greater pace, he added.

The biggest guarantee of our security is membership in NATO. The main tool to change the thinking in the Kremlin is to convince Russia that it cannot win this war and another solution must be sought, and such a solution is peaceful Zelensky's plan, which includes the restoration of Ukrainian territories, the withdrawal of Russian troops and a fair trial. This is an existing plan. Against this plan is Moscow's idea that Ukraine should not exist as a country and it should be destroyed, the former defense minister pointed out.
With a meter-by-meter push, we can get to a point where Ukraine regains its territorial integrity. We have clarity on what we need to do, we just need to do it at a greater pace and scope. We must show that our support for Ukraine is unconditional. No one threatens Russia, it just needs to return to its borders, Velizar Shalamanov also said.
