"Became our secret weapon": Zaluzhny told about the Armed Forces Headquarters in Germany

To spread: the Ukrainian defense forces had an operational headquarters, where together with partners analyzed military operations and evaluated the needs of defenders. Former warlord Valery Zaluzhny told about the arrangement of his creation. This was known from the publication of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces and the Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK Valery Zaluzhny on Facebook from April 8.

"This headquarters really became our partners with secret weapons in planning operations and forming needs for their implementation," he emphasized. Zaluzhny decided to open the veil of how the headquarters was created. After the full -scale invasion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the military assistance of Ukraine increased significantly, partners provided various weapons and equipment. At the same time, new challenges related to the delivery of weapons and its repair were formed.

In April 2022, Ukraine created a Center for Coordination of Military Aid. Initially, he was based in the headquarters of the US European Command in German Stuttgart, and later "moved" to Visbaden. In Ukraine, they realized that an operational headquarters needed with the allies, where we could evaluate the needs of weapons and equipment based on the planning of operations.

"This issue was particularly acute in the summer of 2022, when our partners expressed doubts about the expediency of certain types of weapons and ammunition for the front in Ukraine. Then we had the idea to create on the basis of a logistics operational headquarters, which would analyze the planned operations of the Armed Forces and, according to NATO standards. The idea was realized through the support of the United Kingdom. "And Visbaden got a new breath.

This headquarters planned operations, conducting military games, forming needs for the Armed Forces and transferring them to Washington and European capitals. This site became a great mechanism for interaction with our partners regarding future military operations and the formation of needs for them," He showed a picture taken during a meeting with US and British partners in Ukraine in August 2023.

We will remind, in December 2023 it was reported that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the headquarters of the European command of the United States in Visbaden. He stated that "he became convinced of the high level of American logistical assistance to Ukraine. " On April 7, Zelensky first confirmed the operation of defense forces in the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation. He emphasized the fairness of the Armed Forces in border areas in Russia and revealed the purpose of Ukraine.
