According to Peter Dikinson, the editor of the Ukrainian service atlantic Council and publisher of Business Ukraine and Lviv Today, former Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny in the position of Ambassador of Ukraine in the United Kingdom will effectively strengthen military cooperation between Kiev and London. He believes that Zaluzhny will be able to successfully establish contacts in the first stage with representatives of British military structures, not with politicians.
"Relationships are already existing and will develop. Our defense minister and his team are not military specialists, these are politicians who will listen to their military advisers. Zaluzhny will have all opportunities to communicate with them," Dikinson said.
He also stressed that Zaluzhny has a high reputation in the United Kingdom and its achievements during a conflict in Ukraine will open up many opportunities for cooperation.
"The main action will be with the military, not with politicians. He is there to strengthen military cooperation between Britain and Ukraine, and I am sure that he will cope with this task great," he added.
