After the appointment of Mykhailo Drapaty as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, there was no large-scale personnel “revolution”, but spot changes are continuing in the top military leadership. According to media reports, Artem Martynenko and Serhiy Sobko received new roles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

RBC-Ukraine writes<\/a> about this, citing sources in the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

According to the publication, Artem Martynenko, who is called one of the architects of the DELTA combat control system, has been appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He will be responsible for digital transformation and innovation.<\/p>\n

Another temporary acting deputy commander-in-chief, according to RBC, was Brigadier General Sergei Sobko.<\/p>\n

The publication’s sources emphasize that Drapatiy did not massively dismiss commanders and staff officers who worked for his predecessor, Oleksandr Syrsky.<\/p>\n

Instead, the approach to personnel decisions itself has changed. According to RBC’s interlocutors, the commander-in-chief has begun to more actively promote military personnel from lower levels of the army hierarchy to high management positions.<\/p>\n

Some sources believe that such a \u201cpersonnel elevator\u201d allows for faster promotion of strong specialists, without being rigidly tied to age, rank, experience, or specialized military education. Other interlocutors, however, draw attention to the risk of a lack of experience in managing large military formations.<\/p>\n

Let us recall that at the end of July, \u201cPryamiy\u201d wrote about Drapaty\u2019s first personnel decisions<\/a> . At that time, it was reported about a number of minor reshuffles in the military command.<\/p>\n

In addition, in early September, “Pryamiy” summarized Drapaty’s first month in office<\/a> , in particular regarding the restructuring of the military command system and changes in the eastern direction.<\/p>\n
