Selenskyj relies on new military leadership after a severe rocket attack

Dnipropetrowsk, Ukraine - Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj has ordered a comprehensive restructuring of military leadership in order to improve the reactionability of the armed forces in view of the ongoing Russian pressure. This is followed by a devastating Russian rocket attack on a military training area in Dnipropetrovsk, in which twelve soldiers were killed and numerous others were injured, such as ZVW.de reports.

mychajlo Drapatyj, the previous army chief, was released from organizational tasks such as the mobilization and training of recruits. He should now focus exclusively on battle questions. Drapatyj had previously offered his resignation, but is considered one of the most capable generals in Ukraine, which strengthens its position, especially in view of its recent successes, which were achieved in the Donetsk area after stabilizing the situation in front of the competitive city of Pokrowsk.

changes at the military tip

Selenskyj also made general changes to military leadership by replacing General Walery Saluschnyj as the commander -in -chief of the Ukrainian armed forces. His successor, Oleksandr Syrskyj, was previously commander -in -chief and played a decisive role in the defense of Kiev and the counter -offensive in Charkiw in autumn 2022. These decisions were apparently trotted in a context in which Selenskyj and Saluschnyj had increasingly different priorities, especially in view of the limited resources in Ukraine Saluschnyj in the context of his plans as too ambitious, such as t-online.de addressed

The military changes are made at the same time with reports on special military operations that Ukraine performs against strategic goals in Russia, as well as temporary stopping road traffic on the Crimean Bridge, which can be interpreted in response to an explosive attack by the Ukrainian secret service SBU. Such actions show the dynamics and complexity of the current conflict, which extends over more than three years and shapes the geopolitical landscape in Europe.
