One year into Russia\u2019s all-out war on Ukraine<\/strong>, the world has profoundly changed. Ukraine has proved that it is not a pawn in international politics but is a strong nation, fighting for sovereignty and independence. Russia has been committing crimes against humanity and has become an international pariah. This past year the NATO alliance had declared the Russian Federation as the most significant and direct threat to Allies’ security, and to peace and stability in the Euro-Atlantic area. Earlier this month, Ukraine\u00a0Defense Contact Group met<\/a>\u00a0at Ramstein Air Base to discuss delivery of heavy offensive weaponry to Ukraine. At the annual Munich Security conference global leaders and policy makers\u00a0discussed the new challenges and next steps<\/a>\u00a0on strengthening global security and supporting Ukraine\u2019s fight.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive zoom interview with FORBES, Ukraine\u2019s Minister of Defense, Oleksii Reznikov, looks back at the past year and shares insights on the current state and direction of the war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Katya Soldak:<\/strong>\u00a0Let me begin by asking you to comment on the recent developments, such as Russia\u2019s regular barrages of missiles and drones across Ukraine. Are they launching a new offensive?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oleksii Reznikov: <\/strong>When the Russians realized they couldn\u2019t defeat Ukraine, they started terrorizing civilians. Their goal is to destroy Ukraine\u2019s critical infrastructure, leaving the country in darkness and cold, without water, heat and electricity. They hoped that this would cause such panic that people would put pressure on the government to negotiate peace on the aggressor\u2019s terms. But this tactic didn\u2019t work. Since October 10, they have launched barrages of missile attacks all over Ukraine, using cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and Iranian drones. Our air defense systems, using old Soviet systems such as the BUK and the S300, work well. We\u2019re also using modern systems that we\u2019ve received from our partners. So, we have a good defense although it\u2019s not perfect. Our will to resist and our morale haven’t faltered. We plan to win this war. Every couple of weeks, sometimes more often, the Russians unleash a barrage of air strikes on Ukraine. They’re testing our defense in the frontlines near Bakhmut. It\u2019s been going on for about five months. They’re using the Wagner paramilitary group, which employs criminals recruited from prisons.<\/p>\n

A real offensive, with tanks and artillery, we still haven\u2019t seen. But they’re demonstrating potential in the south, and the offensive that everyone is expecting could still happen.<\/p>\n

Katya Soldak: Earlier this month Ukraine\u2019s partners confirmed the delivery of tanks and discussed the delivery of offensive weaponry; you continue working on trying to get fighter jets. Where do you think Ukraine is today, in Ukraine\u2019s mission to get support from the world and to get weapons to fight Russian aggression?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oleksii Reznikov:\u00a0<\/strong>Last March, when the world realized that Ukraine wouldn\u2019t be defeated in three days, the expectation that Kyiv would be captured, and that all of Ukraine would fall in three weeks, many were surprised. The expectation that they would face only some guerilla warfare didn\u2019t pan out. The entire country rose up to defend itself. Not just our military forces but every citizen: civilians, volunteers,\u00a0babusi<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0dedusi<\/em>\u00a0(FORBES: Ukrainian for \u2018old grandmothers and grandfathers\u2019) all started to fight to the best of their ability. That allowed the world to think that Ukraine needed to be supported by weapons. The world started making important decisions. HIMARS became game-changers in this fight. That allowed us to conduct a successful combat operation first in the Kharkiv region, then the Kherson region. Our partners started giving us sophisticated weapons.<\/p>\n

I was afraid last summer that Ukraine fatigue would set in<\/strong>, and the help would dry up. Luckily, that didn\u2019t happen, and the Ramstein contact group, created under the leadership of the US, the so-called anti-Kremlin coalition of more than 50 countries, more than belong to NATO, continues to work. I have the opportunity to tell their ministers of defense what kinds of modern systems we need and what we\u2019ll be using them for. It\u2019s been very clear: at first we had to stop them (FORBES: Russians), then stabilize the front and then start a counter-offensive. And then, to liberate our territories, from the Chernihiv region to the Kharkiv region to the Kherson region.<\/p>\n

Every country makes its own decisions according to its priorities and societal needs<\/strong>. Prime ministers and presidents decide what their society wants. Our president, [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, together with the US and Europe, let the entire world know how Ukraine would fight \u201cthe second army in the world,\u201d and the world believes that’s possible. This is very important. The world now believes it\u2019s possible to stop Russia on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

NATO\u2019s strategy, according to the summit in Madrid, has been defined for the next 10 years.\u00a0<\/strong>The allies agreed that the Russian federation is the most significant and direct threat to their security and to peace and stability. The world understands that in order for NATO solders not to lose their lives \u2013 because Ukrainians are already losing theirs \u2013 it\u2019s better to give Ukraine weapons and help reduce Russian military capabilities. To weaken Russia so it doesn\u2019t pose a threat to the NATO allies.<\/p>\n

Our partners understand that this is not a one-day process. We discuss not only specific weaponry and military equipment but also its maintenance, repairs, spare parts production and ammunition. Everyone understands that the war will go on for quite some time. We don\u2019t hide anything, we share information with our partners.<\/p>\n

All ministers in the group say: we are with you to the end of this war, which will end with Ukraine\u2019s victory; we believe it. This is important for the entire civilized world.<\/p>\n

Katya Soldak: Tell us about what it\u2019s like to be the Defense Minister when the country is at war? Does Zelenskyy government remain stable?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oleksii Reznikov:<\/strong>\u00a0Zelenskyy\u2019s government is stable, all the ministers are the same people as at the beginning of the war. In some cases, the deputies have changed but those aren’t titanic changes.<\/p>\n

I was appointed to be the Minister of Defense three months before the war started, on November 4, 2022. A lawyer by training, the only military experience I had was serving in the Soviet Army when I was young. My plan was to reform the ministry, update the procurement and logistics system and create housing for military personnel, but\u00a0all that was put on hold once the war started. Half of the ministry was paralyzed. I worked with only a few associates, in bunkers, changing locations, because Kyiv was surrounded.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this military crisis, many details had to be kept secret at first, and it hasn’t been easy to maintain a proper balance between transparency and the government’s need to conduct certain public affairs in secrecy. Society starts having doubts, which is normal for a democratic state. We barely had time for any communication with the public after the war started. Now that members of parliament have returned to regular work, there is more normalcy.<\/p>\n

We’re changing the legislation a little bit, which would provide transparency in time of war without compromising safety.<\/strong>\u00a0I\u2019m ready to lead this effort, even before the war ends, and I would like to continue working on reforms to get rid of anything post-Soviet: to create a system of public control and educational reforms and bring in outside expertise. When we finish this war, we\u2019ll have a head start and it will be easier.<\/p>\n

I am an attorney, a lawyer. However, I did 163 jumps as a skydiver when I served in the army. I’ve also dived in the ocean 300 times. As a hobby, I\u2019m good at using a sniper rifle. These are my civilian hobbies. In 2004, I was an attorney to Ukraine\u2019s president Viktor Yuschenko during the Orange Revolution. We established the rule of law during that fraudulent election and won, so Viktor Yanukovych didn\u2019t become an unlawful president in 2004. That\u2019s when I realized that I must protect democratic values and liberties. I want to live in a European Ukraine.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m traveling a lot but I\u2019m now based in Kyiv. My wife, my daughter and her family, my son, my two grandchildren \u2013 the entire extended family is in Kyiv. The grandchildren go to school; if there is an air raid in Kyiv, they go to a bomb shelter.<\/p>\n

Katya Soldak:\u00a0<\/strong>Americans naturally wonder if there is an efficient system of control and accountability for all the aid Ukraine receives; after all it\u2019s over 100 billion dollars at this point. What are the existing mechanisms that keep track of all the military and other aid Ukraine is receiving, and what protects it from corruption?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oleksii Reznikov:<\/strong>\u00a0All monetary aid that we receive from the US, the IMF and the World Bank is used only for social needs, which are determined by the ministries of finance and social policy. It goes to rebuild the infrastructure, to repair generators, etc. Not a cent is spent on the military and the war. However, if a certain program decides to give us weapons, or some specific things for the war, we’re very grateful and it goes only to weaponry, military equipment, ammunition, etc. We’re using NATO’s procurement logistics system, the same one used by NATO countries. NATO headquarters and the European Command can track each piece of weaponry and see where it ends up, in which battalion and which brigade.<\/p>\n

Western inspectors can trace each piece of weaponry in the system, and if they want to see it \u2013 they can come to the field and check on it with their own eyes. We’re totally transparent for our partners.\u00a0<\/strong>The more our partners trust us, the more they help us with weapons. I\u2019m confident that after our victory, Ukraine \u2013 which already is a de facto NATO country \u2013 will become a NATO country de jure.<\/p>\n

Katya Soldak: How do you see the current course and state of the war?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oleksii Reznikov:<\/strong>\u00a0Right now, there is a process of amassing resources on both sides. Each side is ready to take the initiative, and we\u2019re waiting. We’re ready for an offensive by the Russians and we’re preparing a counter-offensive. Our key goal in this war is to win by freeing all temporarily occupied territories, liberating our people and holding responsible those accountable before an international tribunal. We believe that together with the entire civilized world, we can do this. We have proved this past year that Ukraine is able not only to stop the Russian army but to defeat it.<\/p>\n

No one believed that David would defeat Goliath but it happened thanks to that stone in a sling. In our case, David, with the help of the weapons from our friends, will defeat Golliath.<\/p>\n
