Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapaty and his team have prepared a new “military plan”. The document has been under review by the National Security and Defense Council for several weeks.
The plan is intended to define the Ukrainian army’s strategy and tactics in different situations. One of the issues under consideration is how to maintain the defense and whether soldiers serving as “eyes” and “ears” should remain on the front line when they have virtually no opportunity to take part in combat.
Another element calls for all commanders to switch to the Delta command-and-control system. Some units of Ukraine’s armed forces still do not use it.
The document also envisages personnel changes. Drapaty plans to transfer some officers and generals from the General Staff to reserve battalions, while bringing others back into active service.
Experts have offered differing assessments of how much influence the commander-in-chief can actually exert over processes within the army. Ukrainian journalist and former serviceman Yuriy Butusov previously said that Drapaty does not have the same powers to manage the army as his predecessor, Oleksandr Syrskyi.
Butusov said this particularly concerned Drapaty’s relationship with the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The General Staff is headed by Ihor Skybiuk, who has “his own vision”.
Member of Parliament Mariana Bezuglaya also said that during the entire period in which Drapaty served as commander-in-chief, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed only a few of the dismissal and appointment proposals submitted by him.
