✒️ Head of the Mission of Ukraine to NATO, @getmalyona in her op-ed for @Telegraph: “If we are talking about Ukraine’s unique lessons learned that could be shared with our NATO partners, deep strikes should definitely be among them.”
In this piece, the Head of the Ukrainian Mission shared her thoughts on what Ukraine’s deep-strike campaign tells the world and why it is so important to strengthen Ukraine’s deep-strike capabilities:
1️⃣ Nothing reveals Russia’s vulnerability more vividly than its inability to protect its capital
2️⃣ Through its deep strikes, Ukraine is making the war unwinnable for Russia by targeting oil refineries and depriving Russia of the oil resources critical for sustaining the war
3️⃣ Ukraine’s deep-strike campaign is also part of Ukraine’s air defence efforts, since it is always better to destroy a missile at the production plant than to intercept it over Ukraine
4️⃣ Ukraine’s deep strikes say a great deal about Ukrainian defence technologies and the country’s increasing self-sufficiency in long-range capabilities
5️⃣ Nothing in Ukraine today can elevate public morale more rapidly than successful Ukrainian strikes inside Russia

📌This approach makes it possible to reconcile the need for swift decisions for peace with the requirements for Ukraine’s transformation, while also reassuring EU member states and their voters that membership is granted to a country that measures up in important areas.
