Зеленський повідомив про прогрес у реформі армії після нарад

Today, I held a meeting on the army reform – we made significant progress on this in April. There were meetings of the Staff where we worked through the details, and our military also worked separately – the Commander-in-Chief, the General Staff, the Minister of Defense, and the Office of the President team. I thank all of you for this work. Today, we approved the format that will be implemented. The key point is that our army must be more adapted to the challenges. The fifth year of full-scale war sets particular tasks.

Now, in May, all aspects of the army reform must be finally approved: documents, regulations, and financial arrangements. I instructed the Minister of Defense, the military command, and our Office team to discuss the details of the reform with combat commanders in order to take into account all strong proposals and ensure full communication of the changes. It is important that steps have already been taken to support brigades.

And the program on direct funding for brigades is working very well. It has been in place since last year. Measures to ensure combat brigades receive guaranteed monthly personnel replenishment are also working. This was another important change. All of this will continue to develop. Transfers between units will also be further simplified – relevant decisions on this have already been made. And, of course, alongside this, a new significant stage of the army reform. The goal is to finalize everything in May so that changes can be implemented from June of this year and felt in practice.
