In a significant reshuffle within the Ukrainian military on Feb. 29, President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Oleh Huliak as commander of Ukraine's Logistics Forces, appointing Volodymyr Karpenko as his replacement. This move underscores a broader pattern of personnel changes aimed at bolstering Ukraine's defense capabilities amid ongoing conflicts. General Oleksandr Syrskyi, from the Zero line in Donetsk Oblast, highlighted issues with some brigade commanders' situational awareness and decision-making, particularly in the Avdiivka Sector, which he noted had impacted the sustainability of defense in certain areas. As a result, Syrskyi has taken corrective measures, including the reallocation of additional ammunition and reserves. Furthermore, Syrskyi expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of some brigade commanders, indicating impending personnel changes to preserve the life and health of Ukrainian defenders. Zelensky has granted Syrskyi 'carte blanche' for personnel adjustments within the army, signaling a commitment to adapt and strengthen military leadership in response to the challenges faced. Zelensky expects a detailed report and concrete proposals for further changes at the beginning of the week.
