President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has taken decisive steps to restructure the military command structure within Ukraine by signing a decree that modifies the composition of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief’s Headquarters. This action includes the appointment of a new deputy minister of defense and the integration of the commander of the Ground Forces into the Staff HQ. These changes are intended to improve coordination and streamline decision-making processes amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
The decision reflects Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to modernize its military apparatus and enhance operational efficiency. By bringing the Ground Forces commander directly into the Staff HQ, Zelenskyy aims to ensure that strategic decisions are made with real-time battlefield insights. This restructuring is part of a larger initiative to reorganize military command and improve interoperability across different branches of the armed forces.
