In a move to better prepare soldiers for the battlefield, Ukraine’s commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said the Armed Forces will soon extend military training of new recruits to 2 months
“ Quality training is the foundation of saving lives and preserving the health of our warriors,” added Syrskyi in his statement on Friday.
The initiative builds on recent progress. The Basic military training course has recently been extended to 45 days, a significant increase from the previous 30-day program. The updated plan also includes:
Syrskyi emphasized the critical need for new soldiers to fully complete this phase within their units.
“Commanders must thoroughly prepare recruits for the challenges of modern warfare to maximize their survival and effectiveness in combat,” he added.
The current situation on the frontline is tense, which often makes commanders rush recruits into action without the proper adaptation period, but Syrskyi said he insisted on sticking to the 14-day adaptation rule that later helps ‘save a soldier on battlefields’.
After the full-scale invasion, thousands of Ukrainian women were forced to flee abroad to save their children. Oleksandra Nikitina was one of them—she had to evacuate her three children to Europe. She also enrolled at the London School of Economics and Political Science, wrote research on the uniqueness of Ukrainian volunteering, and founded the project “Vtomlena” (translated “Fatigued”). In an interview with Bukvy, she recounts her journey from Crimea to her current research work, which lays the groundwork for future changes in Ukraine.
