Ukraine restructures military leadership as Russian winter threats intensify

Ukraine is overhauling its military command structure under new chief Mychajlo Drapatyj, who is working to address internal organizational bottlenecks and reform operational management. The shift comes as former commander Valerii Zaluzhnyi asserted that Ukraine will not join NATO, arguing that the alliance relies on outdated doctrines ill-suited for modern warfare.

On the security front, Ukrainian counterintelligence reported disrupting dozens of Russian assassination attempts targeting military personnel recruited through fraudulent social media and dating profiles. Meanwhile, defense analysts warn of growing pressure ahead of winter as Russian forces accelerate missile manufacturing, deploy jet-powered Geran-4 drones, and make tactical advances near Dobropillja.
