Kyrylo Veres, commander of the Ukrainian K-2 Brigade, expressed concern regarding the potential launch of a Russian satellite constellation named "Rassvet". In his assessment, the implementation of this project could have extremely negative consequences for the country's defensive capabilities.
Assessment of the threat posed by the technological solution
Veres emphasised that the deployment of a system involving the placement of 347 satellites in orbit would create serious difficulties for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He highlighted the scale of the potential threat associated with the use of such a number of devices.
«Якщо Росія запустить супутникове угруповання «Рассвет», для нас це буде катастрофою. Наступить справжній захід» (If Russia launches the "Rassvet" satellite constellation, it will be a catastrophe for us. A real sunset will come)
Expectations regarding the work of intelligence services
The military officer expressed the conviction that Ukrainian intelligence services have the ability to influence the situation. He hopes that they will find ways to hinder the successful operation of the Russian system.
«Я щиро сподіваюся, що наші спецслужби знайдуть спосіб завадити цьому — щоб у них щось впало, не злетіло або вибухнуло» (I sincerely hope that our intelligence services will find a way to prevent this — so that something of theirs falls, does not fly, or explodes)
