Drapatyi reverses Syrskyi move, sends 7th Air Assault Corps command to Zaporizhzhya
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi has reversed a decision by his predecessor, Oleksandr Syrskyi, who this summer moved the command of the 7th Air Assault Corps from the Dobropillia sector to Volyn to counter a potential offensive from Belarus, Ukrainska Pravda reported, citing its sources.
Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapatyi has reversed a decision made by his predecessor, Oleksandr Syrskyi, to move the command of the 7th Air Assault Corps from the Dobropillia sector to Volyn, Ukrainska Pravda reported. The report cites sources stating that Drapatyi reverted the decision and redirected the corps command to Zaporizhzhya, which the 7th Corps reportedly appreciated as they had little to do in Volyn.
Russian forces are reportedly massing near Huliaipole in Zaporizhzhya Oblast, planning to encircle the city. Drapatyi aims to restore the Joint Forces Command to its standard configuration, placing all fronts under its control, similar to the NATO model. Ukrainian officials, including Kyrylo Budanov, the presidential chief of staff, have not observed any threats from Belarus, although he cautioned that a different outcome could lead to a "collapse" for Minsk.
Belarus has been building infrastructure for storing military supplies along its border with Ukraine, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned Belarus to halt such developments.
