Podolyak added that the Ukrainian military needs to launch a process of reforming management principles.

In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine must reconsider the tactics of action, which “did not provide the desired result last year,” and also prevent stagnation on the front line.

Earlier, Vladimir Zelensky said that Colonel General Alexander Syrsky had been appointed commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

He emphasized that he expects from the new Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces an updated approach to the mobilization and rotation of the Ukrainian military.
