Ukraine restructures army command amid rising winter security threats

Ukraine's armed forces are undergoing leadership changes following the appointment of Mychajlo Drapatyj as top commander. Drapatyj is tasked with reforming internal operational structures and addressing systemic management issues within the military hierarchy.

Meanwhile, former commander-in-chief and current ambassador to the United Kingdom, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, publicly asserted that Ukraine "will never join" NATO, arguing that the alliance relies on tactics unsuited for modern warfare.

On the domestic front, the Security Service of Ukraine reported disrupting dozens of Russian assassination attempts targeting military personnel lured through fake profiles on dating applications. Concurrently, defense analysts warn of severe operational challenges ahead of winter as Russian forces deploy jet-powered Geran-4 drones and ramp up ballistic missile production beyond previous estimates.
