Abstract

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has announced a new round of appointments to top military positions in an effort to revitalize the country's military efforts. This comes as Ukraine's war with Russia enters its third year. The new appointments include Lieutenant General Oleksandr Pavlyuk as commander of the land forces, replacing Oleksandr Syrskyi who was recently named commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces. Zelenskiy has also replaced the heads of territorial defense, assault troops, and united forces. The president has identified unmanned combat systems and drones as a key priority and has appointed Colonel Vadym Sukharevskyi to oversee this area. The recent overhaul of the military comes after Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russia in 2023 was unsuccessful. [Extracted from the article]
