President Petro Poroshenko met with volunteers of the Ministry of Defense. The volunteers informed on their achievements in the maintenance of the army. The President emphasized that the reform of material supply should provide servicemen with everything necessary and help save their lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main purpose is to save lives and health of our defenders. Every soldier must be fully supplied with everything necessary on the front. It is not an impossible task \u2024 it is a necessity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cUkrainian army should be different. Everyone must see that Ukraine has an absolutely new army with high combat capability, morale, patriotism and professionalism, that Ukrainian army is one of the strongest armies of the continent,\u201d Petro Poroshenko noted.<\/p>\n

The President supports the initiative to get rid of the Soviet experience. \u201cWe must introduce our new Ukrainian traditions, inter alia, new Ukrainian ranks. Replacement of \u201cjunior lieutenant\u201d with \u201ccornet\u201d fully meets Ukrainian traditions and structure of military ranks in NATO countries,\u201d the President stressed.<\/p>\n

Also, the Head of State praised the introduction of \u201cbrigadier general\u201d. \u201cLook at our brigadier commanders on the front line. They became true fathers for our soldiers. They are a great example of heroism. I think they deserved to become brigadier generals,\u201d the President said. According to him, it is a powerful social elevator and motivation for new commanders, who proved themselves on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

The Head of State praised the work of volunteers in the Ministry of Defense. \u201cDue to these people, many things that hadn\u2024t been made in more than 20 years, have been made in several months: NATO standards have been established in material supply, new technical conditions for the maintenance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been created etc. You\u2024ve achieved a significant progress already,\u201d the President addressed the volunteers.<\/p>\n

The President thanked volunteers for the establishment of e-procurement and computerization of medical support in the Defense Ministry.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the Ukrainian society can notice the efficient and transparent use of the increased military budget. I am sure that this experience must be also used in other ministries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The President believes that the new system will put an end to corruption in the Armed Forces. As Supreme Commander-in-Chief, he will further support measures aimed at improving the maintenance of the army.<\/p>\n

The event was attended by Minister of Defense Stepan Poltorak, Chief of the General Staff of the AFU Viktor Muzhenko, Advisor to the President Yuriy Biriukov and First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Vitaliy Kovalchuk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
