Serhiy Prytula: Ukraine Becomes a Key Player in Global Security Architecture
Volunteer and founder of the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation, Serhiy Prytula, recently shared his insights on the shifting international landscape and Ukraine's growing role on the world stage.
Prytula emphasized that Ukraine has become indispensable at a time when efforts were made to render it unnecessary, highlighting the urgent need for the country to enhance its military capabilities.
In October 2024, Prytula stated that Ukraine must learn to operate as if the United States does not exist. This assertion raised some eyebrows among certain individuals, yet his reasoning was clear: Ukraine should bolster its capabilities to ensure that, in the absence of American assistance, it would not suffer critical consequences on the battlefield.
As of April 2026, Prytula noted that the situation had evolved significantly. He pointed out that the era of romantic relations between Ukraine and its Western partners has long passed. Nevertheless, he expressed gratitude to Europe for purchasing and financing essential military supplies for Ukraine, emphasizing that this assistance is of utmost importance.
Prytula also reported that during this time, Ukraine has significantly increased its military capabilities, with domestically produced weapons and military equipment now accounting for 60% of the arsenal on the front lines, a remarkable achievement compared to previous figures.
Last week, he remarked that the world has changed dramatically, and soon Ukraine will play a pivotal role in defining the military alliances of the future. "Only Ukraine has shown the world how to strike against the second largest army on the planet! It is Ukraine that has driven the Russian Navy into a corner. Only Ukraine, without air superiority, has dismantled 40% of the export capacity for Russian oil," he stressed.
In his analysis, Prytula also referenced comments made by Keith Kellogg, a former special envoy of the U.S. President, who spoke about creating an alternative to NATO involving Ukraine. Prytula has no doubts as to why Ukraine finds itself alongside the United States, Japan, Germany, Australia, and Poland on this list. He believes that Ukraine has become an exporter of the future global security architecture, having already demonstrated its strength in a world where the weak are not respected.
Prytula further noted that Ukraine was previously not taken seriously, ignored, and not welcomed into NATO. However, now, according to him, countries are tipping their hats to Ukrainian experience and are eager to form military alliances with Ukraine.
"Remember my words. The day will come when Ukraine will not be asking, but providing security guarantees to other countries!" Prytula concluded, underscoring his confidence in Ukraine's future on the international stage.
