Commander-in-Chief Drapatyi Sets Priorities for Ukraine’s Armed Forces Leadership
Drapatyi’s doctrine sets eight priorities and 14 commander requirements, saying people are the armed forces’ most valuable combat capability.
- Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapatyi released the "Principles of Leadership for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Development of the Armed Forces in Wartime," outlining 14 requirements for commanders and eight priorities for the Armed Forces.
- Drapatyi emphasized that "the most valuable combat capability of the Armed Forces is our people, and every commander is obliged to protect them," making defense of the country and its people the top priority.
- Headquarters must "be smaller where possible, faster where necessary, and become more useful every day," while the document mandates joint operations because "no single service, branch of the armed forces or individual brigade is capable of winning on its own."
- Fair and predictable military service is mandated, with personnel decisions prioritizing professionalism and performance; Drapatyi further noted that "problems that are ignored only grow" when left unaddressed by leadership.
- Drapatyi aims to ensure the Armed Forces emerge from this war stronger, creating conditions where no aggressor finds attacking Ukraine acceptable through cooperation with the Ministry and Defence bodies.
