On the instructions of Volodymyr Zelensky, Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi was assigned to command the Operational-Strategic Group (OSG) "Khortytsia".

The president informed about this in an evening address.

He noted that this concerns the "most brutal areas of fighting". At the same time, Drapatyi will retain the powers of commander of the Ground Forces, the largest unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"This will help combine the armyʼs combat work with the proper training of brigades. It is the front-line needs that should determine the standards for staffing and training of brigades," Zelensky said.
