January 15, 2025There are three times more military personnel in headquarters than on the frontline.
This was stated by Member of Parliament Serhiy Yevtushok.
“Who gave the command to remove all specialists and technicians from the Air Force? We need a specific name so that the public knows. Right now, one hand doesn’t know what the other hand of the same organism is doing,” he said.
According to him, as part of mobilization efforts, there is a need to review former security personnel who retired at the age of 45.
It should be recalled that MP Maryana Bezuhla, who was among the first to report the mass transfer of aviation technicians to infantry roles, also stated that at the same time, more and more officers are being recruited into headquarters.
The General Staff confirmed the transfer of some aviation technicians to infantry units. However, they clarified that “critically scarce specialists in the Air Force’s engineering and aviation services, responsible for maintaining aircraft, were not intended to be transferred to infantry units and will not be.”
Following public backlash, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that he had allegedly instructed that the number of specialists essential for the Air Force, air defense, and mobile fire groups to perform combat missions should not be reduced.
