Ukrainska Pravda, Espreso.TV and Telegraf reported the information.
"The war accelerates the wheel of scientific and technological progress, and it keeps spinning. The presence of robots on the battlefield has caused a kind of deadlock; neither the russians nor we have been able to move forward, and this trend persists," Zaluzhnyi said.

Currently, russians cannot advance 150-200 kilometers in a week, indicating a stalemate and a lack of resources, the former Commander-in-Chief explained.
Zaluzhnyi predicted that a significant breakthrough by russian forces could become possible closer to 2027.
"According to my own theory, when the technical evolutionary process is complete and the accumulation of technological materials begins, the ability to launch active offensives will be restored. By my calculations, this will happen after 2027," he stated.
According to the former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, by that time, russian forces will likely abandon aggressive territorial advances and adopt a "war of attrition" strategy. Zaluzhnyi added that a similar approach is already evident on the battlefield.
"We do not see deep breakthroughs by the enemy but rather a gradual pushing of our forces from positions, which, of course, comes at a very high cost to them... This is because the russians are implementing this attrition strategy. However, as of now, they are not prepared to expand their front line... Therefore, conducting such combined actions aimed at wearing us down yields results, including on the battlefield," Zaluzhnyi concluded.
