Alexander Syrsky signed an order on the mandatory rotation of the military performing tasks on the front line.

“In conditions of dominance of drones on the battlefield, the very logic of warfare is changing. Significantly transformed the concept of the front edge, rear and depth of the battle formations. Complicated logistics and movement both on the battlefield and from the front edge to the rear.

In order to preserve the life and health of military personnel performing tasks both on the line of contact and in the depths of defense, he signed an order for the mandatory rotation of military personnel performing tasks at the forefront,” the statement said.

The Commander-in-Chief stated that commanders should provide conditions for the stay of military personnel in positions up to 2 months, followed by mandatory replacement (rotation), which should be carried out within one month.

medical examination and providing time for rest to military personnel who have completed combat missions;
timely provision (replenishment) of ammunition and food for military personnel performing combat (special) tasks at positions.

“Compliance with the requirements of the order will be under strict control. For violation – inevitable responsibility in accordance with the current legislation and charters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Timely rotation is not only a matter of organizing the service, it is a matter of preserving the lives of our soldiers and the stability of the defense.

The order is mandatory for all units performing combat missions at the forefront,” concluded Syrsky.
