Ukrainian service members raise concerns over military logistics, mobilization, and honors

Ukrainian military personnel and veterans have called for structural reforms to address internal inequities within the armed forces.

Frontline surgeon Bohdan Zhuravel criticized the lack of troop rotations, stating that prolonged deployments leave service members exhausted while government policies favor civilians. Drone commander Yurii Butusov highlighted supply chain failures, asserting there is "no responsibility at all" for military logistics, forcing officers to independently procure necessary equipment.

Additionally, veteran research highlighted by Ukrainska Pravda noted that military honors are heavily concentrated among headquarters staff rather than frontline soldiers. To improve mobilization fairness, serviceman Pavlo Kazarin advocated revising draft deferment policies and reforming military medical evaluation boards.
