Starting today, a new management team takes over the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

I am grateful to General Zaluzhnyi for two years of defense. I appreciate every victory we have achieved together, thanks to all the Ukrainian warriors who are heroically carrying this war on their shoulders. We candidly discussed issues in the army that require change. I proposed to General Zaluzhnyi that we further remain together on the Ukrainian state team. I will be grateful for his acceptance of this proposal.
Starting today, a new management team will take over leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
I want to ensure that our warriors in Robotyne and Avdiivka, as well as the General Staff and Staff meetings, all share the same war effort vision.
I had dozens of conversations with commanders at various levels. I spoke, in particular, with brigade generals Andriy Hnatov, Mykhailo Drapatyi, and Ihor Skybiuk, as well as colonels Pavlo Palisa and Vadym Sukharevskyi.
They are all being considered for army leadership positions, and they will be led by Ukraine's most experienced commander. He has successful defensive experience, particularly in the Kyiv defense operation. He also has successful offensive experience, particularly in the Kharkiv liberation operation.
I appointed Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Today, I also spoke with generals Moisiuk and Zabrodskyi. Their experience serves our country.
2024 can become successful for Ukraine only through effective changes in the basis of our defense, which is the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
