Ukraine overhauls army command amid mounting security and winter threats

Ukraine is restructuring its military command following the appointment of new chief Mychajlo Drapatyj, who is working to resolve internal organizational bottlenecks. Meanwhile, former commander Valerii Zaluzhnyi claimed Ukraine "will never join" NATO, arguing the alliance relies on outdated doctrines ill-suited for modern warfare.

On the security front, the Security Service of Ukraine reported disrupting dozens of Russian assassination attempts targeting military personnel recruited through fraudulent social media and dating profiles. Concurrently, analysts warn of escalating pressure on Ukrainian forces ahead of winter as Russia accelerates missile production, deploys jet-powered Geran-4 drones, and makes tactical gains near Dobropillja.
