According to Pavel Muraveiko, preparing and conducting the exercises is similar to shooting a high-quality feature film. The exercise director observes the process and makes adjustments as needed,” Pavel Muraveiko said. Pavel Muraveiko also noted that if participants somehow find out about the assignment in advance or get hints, adjustments are made, but he emphasized that this has not happened during the recent exercise. “They often say: who knows, maybe you did me a disservice?”Responding to a question about the preliminary conclusions from Zapad 2025, Pavel Muraveiko stressed: “Saying everything went perfectly or terribly are extreme views that don't lead to any useful conclusions. As for operational-strategic headquarters and unit actions, I would like to say that in war, there are no bad decisions.
