operation. the forum also presents equipment that was developed taking into account the wishes of our fighters, participants in the special operation. defense minister andrei belousov. also spoke about who fueled the conflict in ukraine. in essence, this is an armed confrontation between russia and the collective west. it is caused by the desire of the united states of america and its allies to maintain their dominance, to prevent the construction of a new, multipolar and equal world order. these confrontations affect the interests of each state. it is important to understand that achieving success in such modern military conflicts is possible only if the following basic conditions are met simultaneously: first, providing troops with the most modern weapons, primarily high-precision weapons. second,

using new tactical methods of conducting military operations. third, creating an effective management system using advanced technological basics, including. artificial intelligence. only such a comprehensive approach gives a full advantage over the enemy. it was around this key conclusion that the decision was made. to organize the work of the army forum. and we return to the first topic of the issue: the consequences of the attack by ukrainian militants on the zaporizhia nuclear power plant. we have just received a comment from the head of rosatom, alexey likhachev. now he is also in the patriot park near moscow at the army forum. but the events of last night are well known to everyone. they are probably have already taken aggression in the ukrainian armed forces to another level, to another level. towards nuclear facilities,
