The Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelenski, announced in his speech to the nation last night that he works with the dome of the Armed Forces in the Army modernization and restructuring In larger units, a plan announced weeks ago that seeks to take advantage of the potential of the best brigades and improve coordination on the front.
“The corresponding plan on the transition to a new organizational structure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and The creation of corps has already been approved“Zelenski said after being updated by the Army Chief, Oleksandr Sirski, using the English name with which these larger units are designated.
Zelenski explained that during the day on Monday he tried with SIRSKI the question of the choice of the commanders of those brigades. “They must be the most prepared, the most promising, with experience of combat and modern mentality“said the president, who said that new decisions will soon be made public.
Ukraine has had problems with some army units that have been criticized for the lack of aptitude of their commanders and have registered very high numbers of casualties and defections.
The alleged malfunction of these units creates problems in the front and imbalances in the mobilization process. While in the Brigades with the best name there are waiting lists to register, few are willing to enlist if they know they can fall into those who present problems.
To solve this situation, kyiv seeks create larger units from the brigades with more prestige and better service sheet in the war.
