Rotation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is imperfect, but it exists at all levels.
Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said this in an interview with LB.ua, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"It may be imperfect, but it exists at all levels. Now we are working on it systematically. We look at how a person enters the perimeter after mobilization - how we prepare him, what is needed for training centers, who is needed for training centers, how we need to prepare other things as well," he said.
Umerov emphasized that previously they concentrated on quantitative parameters, but qualitative ones are needed, and to increase mobilization, they started recruiting.
"In order for us to have an increase, we started recruiting. We began to say: there are marines, Air Assault Forces, offensive lines, etc. Take, for example, marines. They prepared a very good step-by-step path (how to become a marine) and we are trying to communicate it, explain it to people so that they are not afraid," the minister said.
Umerov also noted that in order not to be afraid to mobilize, they started digitizing everything.
"First, we began to do it quantitatively. Second, we began to digitize everything so that people are not afraid to enter the perimeter. It roughly looks like this: now we have an army, conditionally, so much. It is divided into the Armed Forces and other Defense Forces. In order to hold the front, here I build defenses, here I generate people, here I protect my infrastructure, here I start an assault, here I exhaust the enemy. To do all this, you need to sit and think, because there must be a goal and a plan behind it goal. That almost didn't happen. Now it does," he said.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Umerov, talking about the key achievements of the first year of his work as a minister, said that over the past year in Ukraine, the indicators of mobilization have increased three times, the next step is the reform of the territorial centers of recruitment and social support (military commissariats).
On September 6, 2023, the Verkhovna Rada appointed the former head of the State Property Fund, Rustem Umerov, to the position of Minister of Defense.
