During a conversation with the Commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the President of Ukraine emphasized the importance of preserving the specialists needed to perform combat missions. Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported this in his address after a meeting with the military.
“The day began with military issues: a report on the situation at the front, our weapons and appropriate supply. A separate conversation was about air forces. There was a lot of information, outrage and discussions about translations. I instructed to clarify the whole society and not reduce the composition of specialists that needed air forces.
The media reported that in recent years many specialists in the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been transferred to the Land Forces to strengthen combat crews. This has caused concern in society, especially given the growing role of aviation and air defense systems in the protection of the Ukrainian sky.
The President stressed that the Air Force units play a key role in confronting aggression, providing protection against missile and aviation attacks. That is why maintaining their personnel potential is critical for the country's defense capability.
In addition, Zelensky called for public clarification of the situation to avoid misunderstandings and reassure society.
