This was discussed during a meeting between representatives of the defense agency and the Armed Forces of Ukraine with public organizations.

The motivation to serve and the readiness to perform tasks as intended depend on the state of mental health of the military.

• inpatient psychological rehabilitation
• training of deputy company commanders in psychological techniques
• training of assistant psychologists in mental resilience in military operations.
