Valery Zaluzhnyi, the Ukrainian ambassador to the UK and former chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, has made comments on the military-technical aspects of Ukraine's war against Russia. Zaluzhnyi stated that Ukraine is technologically behind Russia, and to bridge this gap, "we need to develop our own space capabilities. For this, we need to enter space and implement a space program."
Zaluzhnyi said one of Ukraine's initiatives for space development should be to establish a Ukrainian version of the "Starlink" satellite communication system. Many people in Ukraine are worried that Elon Musk might cut off the service of the "Starlink" system for the Ukrainian military. Musk has previously talked about this matter but has not yet decided to implement it. Currently, he has stopped funding the operation of "Starlink" for Ukraine out of his own pocket. The U.S. Department of Defense and the Polish government are providing funding for this project.
Zaluzhnyi also said that Ukraine needs to work on developing advanced missiles similar to Russia's "Kinzhal" hypersonic missile, "so that even without nuclear weapons, we can cause significant damage to the enemy." "But if it is not possible to produce such missiles, (Ukraine) must establish a countermeasure system that allows us to track these missiles, so that we can calculate their trajectory and determine the impact area." Oh my god, even the big American now still have headaches about how to intercept hypersonic missiles. Zaluzhnyi's concept of an anti-missile system for Ukraine has no foundation—no money, no technology.
Zaluzhnyi's entire discussion on military-technical concepts is unrealistic fantasy. This former chief of the Ukrainian armed forces seems to have gone mad, or is deliberately saying some far-fetched things to maintain exposure.
