They will not wait. What can Ukraine expect from Harris and Trump

Harris and Trump want to help Ukraine stop Russia

On the conviction of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyi, whoever wins the presidential elections in the USA, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will take concrete steps to end Russia's war against Ukraine before January, that is, before the official inauguration.

Points of attention

  • Volodymyr Zelensky is sure that Harris and Trump will start acting sooner than they will officially head the White House.
  • Zelensky's meetings with Harris and Trump were productive.
  • Trump made a new scandalous statement about the Ukrainian leader.

Harris and Trump want to help Ukraine stop Russia

According to the head of state, the readiness of the Russian dictator for negotiations directly depends on the results of the elections in the USA,

I think they will be watching the policy of the United States in this matter. And the United States will demonstrate politics very quickly, after the election, in my opinion.

According to the Ukrainian leader, from the information he received at meetings with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, "they will not wait until January."

They will not be able to do something according to their powers, but they will be able to do something, — assures the Ukrainian leader.

Volodymyr Zelensky frankly admitted that the meetings with both Harris and Trump were good, but he does not want to compare them.

Trump made a new scandalous statement about Zelensky

Recently, Ukrainians and many Western leaders were outraged by Donald Trump's statement that Volodymyr Zelenskyy could have prevented the start of the war, but did not.

Interestingly, the Republican does not accuse dictator Vladimir Putin of invading Ukraine.

I think Zelensky is one of the best traders I have ever seen. Every time he comes, we give him a hundred billion dollars. Who else in history received such money? This has never happened. And it does not mean that I do not want to help him, because I feel very sorry for these people. But he had no right to allow that war to begin, Trump said.

In addition, the odious politician again began to lie that Ukraine is "no longer Ukraine" because, they say, Russia destroyed most of the country's population centers.

Neizhpapa named the number of Russian military facilities hit by the Ukrainian Navy in 2024

Navy of the Armed Forces
Oleksiy Neizhpapa

The Ukrainian Navy struck about 50 Russian military facilities last year. Among them were military airfields, ammunition and fuel storage depots, "shaheed" production sites, etc.

Points of attention

  • The Ukrainian Navy conducted successful strikes on about 50 Russian military facilities in 2024, disrupting Russia's military operations in Crimea.
  • Aerial reconnaissance by the Ukrainian Navy detected over 400 enemy targets per year, leading to effective planning of combat operations.
  • The actions of the Ukrainian Navy complicated Russia's use of the naval base in Crimea and ensured stable vessel traffic for the export of Ukrainian grain.
  • Commander Neizhpapa emphasized the importance of high-quality training for servicemen and the search and destruction of enemy targets as key priorities for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
  • The Ukrainian Navy managed to destroy 28 Russian ships, including a submarine and missile carriers, weakening the enemy's combat potential significantly.

The Ukrainian Navy has struck about 50 Russian military facilities in a year

This was announced by the Commander of the Ukrainian Navy, Oleksiy Neizhpapa.

Over the past year, the Navy's missile and naval unmanned systems units have carried out dozens of successful strikes on about 50 enemy military facilities, including those in temporarily occupied Crimea. These included military airfields, ammunition, fuel, and other military equipment storage facilities, "Shaheed" storage and production sites, air defense and surveillance systems, logistics hubs, and military enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex.

Neizhpapa also spoke about the successes of aviation reconnaissance. According to him, over the year, reconnaissance aircraft flew almost 700 hours, during which they detected about 400 enemy targets. Their data became the basis for planning combat operations, the Navy commander emphasized.

Another achievement of the Navy is the displacement of Russian ships, including the carriers of the "Caliber", from the base in occupied Sevastopol.

In addition, the Navy's actions significantly complicated Russia's use of its main naval base in temporarily occupied Crimea — Sevastopol. The Russian Black Sea Fleet was forced to withdraw most of its warships, including all Kalibr missile carriers, to Novorossiysk. Our defenders stopped the free maneuvering of Russian ships in the Sea of Azov, forcing them to withdraw to bases in the Krasnodar Territory.

The military was also able to ensure the functioning of the sea corridor and stable vessel traffic, which made it possible to export millions of tons of Ukrainian grain and strengthen food security in the world.

I have identified the relevant tasks for this year. One of the key areas is ensuring high-quality training for our servicemen, which is an important condition for saving their lives. The search and destruction of enemy targets also remains a priority. Our goal is to weaken the enemy's combat potential as much as possible.

How many Russian ships did the Ukrainian Armed Forces manage to destroy?

According to the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, Dmytro Pletenchuk, the total number is 28, including the destroyed submarine Rostov-on-Don, which was hit in dry dock.

But, according to the speaker, not only the quantitative factor is important, but also the qualitative one.

Among the destroyed ships are three cruise missile carriers, a submarine, and two new ships, the newest ones being the Askold and Cyclone. These are actually representatives of all classes, starting from the flagship, which was a missile cruiser, and ending with missile boats designed to transfer a small number of troops and patrol, such as the Raptor, Serna, and Tunets, Pletenchuk listed.
