Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Zarzhny said that the unstable political situation in each country is leading to a reduction in support. In the future there will be less expensive military support such as unmanned aircraft.

He expressed strong concern that interest in the situation in Ukraine is waning due to the tense situation in the Middle East. He acknowledged that while the Russian military has a "huge advantage" in terms of human resources, Ukraine is facing difficulties in increasing its military strength by mobilizing additional soldiers.
