War in Ukraine: Selenskyj provides military leadership by Russian blow

The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj has made changes at the head of military leadership. The previous army chief Mychajlo Drapatyj was freed from organizational tasks such as mobilization, training and preparing recruits, said Selenskyj in his evening video message. “As commander of the United Armed Forces, Drapatyj will only focus on fighting questions so that he can devote himself 100 percent of the front.” Circumcart of competence was preceded by a Fatal Russian rocket attack on a military training area in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Drapatyj himself had offered his resignation two days ago as a consequence of the fiasco, in which he was killed in twelve soldiers and dozens were injured. But the 42-year-old is considered one of the most capable Ukrainian generals. Most recently, he stabilized the situation in front of the competitive city of Pokrowsk in the Donetsk area. Observers assume that Selenskyj did not want to do without his leadership qualities on the front.

In addition, Selenskyj Oleh Apostol appointed the head of paratroopers and Robert Browdi as head of drone troops. Wadym Suchharewskyj should modernize the entire command structure as the new vice -gateist of the East Army Group, said the Ukrainian head of state. In the Russian invasion, which has been going on for more than three years, Ukraine is under heavy pressure on the front.

Politically, Selenskyj called for further sanctions against Russia after the Russian rocket strike against Sumy, in which 4 civilians were died and about 30 injured. Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin will not change his tactics as long as he is not put under pressure, said the Ukrainian.
