"We have calculated everything: the number of personnel currently in brigades at positions on average and the availability of personnel deployed to the operational area. There is a large number of our service members located in combat zones. We have all the conditions to create three shifts and ensure the training of the shift that will go in as a replacement for rotation at our training grounds and facilities adapted for this purpose," Syrskyi said.
He noted that it is important to ensure not only rotation but also training for service members preparing to perform combat missions.
"Secondly, I have set a date—the 15th of every month—for us to monitor the implementation of rotations. For example, groups of officers are currently working to verify how brigades have accounted for service members on the front lines and how their duration of stay has been recorded. That is, we now need to clarify everything, deal with the people who will be replacing them, and create a control system for this," Syrskyi added.
