Although the scale of the Russian-Ukrainian war resembles the large conventional wars of the last century, it will not last long, since Ukraine has an advantage in the military and emotional support of the civilized world.
This opinion was expressed by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksiy Reznikov, in an interview with NV.
According to the Minister, this war is a war of resources. Although they are decreasing on both sides, Ukraine has powerful resource support from the 50 member countries of the Rammstein Club, who want its victory and believe that it is realistic. The second favorable factor for Ukraine is the information component - the civilized world feels its emotional involvement in this war due to the exposure of the crimes of the occupying forces in Buch, Izyum, Mariupol and Balaklia.
People feel emotionally involved in this war, that they can influence it, I'm not talking about modern technology that allows for precision strikes and balances the lack of manpower. I think this war will end quickly. Of course, I would like it not to start, but personally I believe in this year as a year of victory.

Other important theses from the Minister's interview:
- Russia is beginning to experience a lack of resources - human resources, high-precision weapons and artillery ammunition.
- Earlier, they poured up to 60,000 shells on our heads, now, the front line has definitely narrowed, but they also started hitting less, only 20-30 thousand per day. Intelligence reports, our partners confirm this, that during the year they run to North Korea, China and other countries specifically for artillery shells and armored vehicles. They even removed all heavy weapons from Belarus.
- There is no problem in providing older Abrams models to Ukraine - the speed of delivery is the key factor. In the future, the defense industry of NATO countries will compete and compete, which of them will be the main supplier of weapons for Ukraine.
- Today, almost all European countries have launched their military-industrial complex for production and are solving two tasks - to help us and to replenish their warehouses so as not to lose the level of their own defense capability.
