Personnel changes among brigade commanders
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky announced possible personnel changes among commanders in individual combat brigades on the eastern front in order to preserve the life and health of personnel.
According to him, some brigades manage to hold back enemy attacks and hold positions, while others — no, despite the fact that they are equally equipped with personnel, weapons and military equipment.
However, this depends on the brigade commander, his level of training, experience, ability to make adequate and informed decisions, as well as the level of training and coherence of the brigade headquarters, the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine emphasized.
