Today, January 25, 2025, important personnel changes are expected in the management of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

Yuriy Butusov, editor-in-chief of Censor.NET, wrote about this on Facebook.

According to him, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Volodymyr Zelenskyy plans to appoint Major General Mykhailo Drapaty, the current commander of the Army of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as commander of the Khortytsia Operational and Strategic Group of Troops.

"Such a personnel decision will significantly increase confidence in the actions of the Ukrainian leadership in the active army and will allow us to introduce systemic changes in the use and organization of the army that are long overdue.

We will wait for the decision. But I hope that this time, no one's hand will tremble on the way to the office to sign. The army needs this decision," emphasizes Butusov.
