🫡🇺🇦General Drapatiy: I had a long conversation with the President. I reported everything that is currently known about the tragedy at the training ground.

‼️ I received a task from the President. I remain in the ranks. On the front line. Where I can do the most.

⚡️ Drapatyi was appointed Commander of the Joint Forces so that he could deal with the front 100%, — Zelensky.

❗️Another person will deal with the Ground Forces system.

We must change the culture within the army. The culture of the commanders' attitude towards their fighters, towards the performance of duties, towards the value of every life of a Ukrainian soldier who took up arms to defend Ukraine.

Ukrainian Land Forces Commander Resigns After Russian Attack That Killed 12 Soldiers on Training Ground

Honestly...It was horrible that it happened but I'm not even sure it was his fault, the speed at which he resigned was commendable and he immediately accepted the blame before an investigation was even started, I don't know if he is to blame or not, but he immediately took accountability, I think Zelenskyy is making the right choice here in refusing a full resignation and instead reassigning him.

Apparently the soldiers weren't even in the open, they were in shelters, I don't know...I'm not sure I can blame him if they were just at a training camp in shelters, where else are they meant to be trained? He seems like the type of soldier needed, one that genuinely cares for his soldiers, one that immediately accepts accountability, no arrogance or stubbornness and willing to change for the better.
