Overview
- Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi directed corps and group leaders to review how troops at the front get food, water, medicine and gear, with a deadline of May 20.
- His order also calls for more transport, casualty evacuation options and ground robots to move supplies in dangerous areas.
- The General Staff replaced the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade’s commander and reassigned the 10th Army Corps chief to a lower post, naming Col. Taras Maksimov to lead the brigade and Brig. Gen. Artem Bohomolov to head the corps.
- A Ground Forces commission is investigating the 14th brigade after officials documented supply failures at its positions.
- Military Ombudsman Olha Reshetylova said the shortfalls reflect wider flaws in withdrawal and rotation choices, noting a case of a soldier rotated after 502 days and urging caution in public posts that could expose cut-off troops.
