Local administrations are introducing the position of a deputy head for defense affairs. The press service of the Ministry of Defense announced this on Monday, April 27.

Ukraine continues to develop its national resistance system, which allows for faster and more effective decision-making. To this end, the position of deputy head for defense is being introduced in local administrations.

"These positions will be held by active-duty military personnel seconded by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine. We expect that they will significantly strengthen cooperation between the civilian and military sectors," said Lieutenant General Yevhen Moisiuk, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine.

According to him, these positions will be retained even in the event of a return to peacetime.
