This is stated in a message published today, February 8, in the Telegram channel of the President’s Office.
According to Zelensky, in the near future he expects such changes in the Armed Forces of Ukraine:
- a realistic, detailed action plan for the Armed Forces of Ukraine for 2024 should appear on the table. Taking into account the actual situation on the battlefield and prospects;
- each combat brigade on the first line must receive effective Western weapons – there must be a fair redistribution of such weapons in favor of the first line of the front;
- problems with logistics need to be solved – “Avdiivka should not wait until the generals figure out where the drones are stuck in their warehouses”;
- every general must know the front – “if a general does not know the front, he does not serve Ukraine.”
- excessive and unjustified staff numbers must be corrected;
- We need to build an effective rotation system in the army. The experience of individual combat brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and units of the State Border Service of Ukraine, where such a system exists, can be taken as a basis;
- We need an obvious improvement in the quality of training of soldiers – only trained first-line soldiers;
- A new type of force is being created within the structure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – the Forces of Unmanned Systems. The first commander must be appointed.
Zelensky noted that the new Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, will present a team to reboot the Armed Forces in the coming days.
2024 can be successful for Ukraine only if there are effective changes in the basis of our defense, which is the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” Zelensky emphasized.
