Mykhailo Drapaty has been appointed as the new commander of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Oleg Apostol was appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces

"Major General Mykhailo Drapaty successfully organized the defense in the Kharkiv direction and disrupted the offensive operation of the Russian forces.

Colonel Oleg Apostol is an experienced commander of the 95th Separate Assault Brigade. Both have proven their effectiveness in combat.

The main task is to significantly increase the combat capability of our army, ensure the quality of training of servicemen and introduce innovative approaches to managing people in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ukrainian army needs internal changes to fully achieve the goals of our state," said President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.

According to DeepState, both have extremely good reputations in the military. Drapaty took over the "Kharkiv" OTU in May, stopping the enemy near Liptsi and Vovchansk. He managed to stabilize the situation. Then he worked at OTU "Luhansk", where he received many favorable reviews for his work. Apostol commanded the 95th ODSHBr since February. The brigade traditionally carried out stabilization in the most porous areas. In the summer, it stopped the enemy in Toretsk and then in August carried out successful offensive operations in Kurshchyna.
