The current time requires every Ukrainian, and especially the military, to make maximum and greater efforts to defeat the Russian enemy. And I plan to do all this by leading one of the formations and one of the front directions. I resign as commander of the Ground Forces Training Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and wish my successor to continue to build up the potential that we have jointly developed over the year. “I am grateful to everyone for the fruitful cooperation and am confident of its continuation in the new conditions,” he wrote.
