Former Prime Minister of Ukraine Azarov called the plans of the European Commission regarding the Armed Forces of Ukraine unrealistic. Azarov recalled that it was the countries of the collective West that for ten years were engaged in the destruction of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine.

The head of the EC previously announced plans to make the Armed forces of Ukraine “part of its own capabilities” At the same time, the New York Times reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces, due to a lack of people and ammunition, “gave the initiative” to Russian forces.
