Zelensky approves new military structure and creation of corps

Zelensky announced this in his nightly video address, according to Ukrinform.

"The Commander-in-Chief also reported on the modernization of our army – a corresponding plan has already been approved regarding the transition to a new organizational structure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the creation of corps. We are keeping attention on this – on implementation. The corps system is necessary. Today, we discussed approaches to appointing corps commanders – these must be the most prepared, most promising officers, with combat experience and modern mindset," he said, commenting on the latest meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.

Zelensky emphasized that the army must be modern and, most importantly, value its people: "The corresponding decisions will be announced."

Additionally, the president praised the soldiers of the 225th and 425th assault regiments.

"I am grateful to all our units carrying out combat missions with resilience. For us to be successful in negotiations this year, Ukrainian warriors must remain steadfast on the front lines and effective in eliminating Russian occupiers. I want to recognize the warriors of the 225th and 425th assault regiments for their service in recent days and weeks," Zelensky said.

The president also announced that a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) is scheduled for tomorrow.
