The Ukrainian government will prepare a decision to rectify the substandard work of military medical commissions, according to the evening address of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The head of state mentioned that today he visited Ukrainian military personnel in the Donetsk region. He had conversations with brigade and battalion commanders.
"Today, there were detailed, candid discussions about our offensive actions, supply issues to the troops, commanders' capabilities, what these capabilities are at present, and how they should be. We also addressed matters concerning weapons and scarce ammunition, equipment repair, and more," Zelenskyy revealed.
He also mentioned issues related to weapons and scarce ammunition, equipment repair, and more.
"An important topic is how commanders can manage their personnel: soldier motivation, fighter training, unit staffing. Many problems arise due to substandard work by the military medical commissions. Soldiers and commanders should be focused on warfare, not bureaucracy. We will prepare a decision," the President emphasized."
Problems with military medical commissions' work
Recently, the issue of military medical commissions' work has become increasingly pressing in Ukraine. Particularly, in certain cases, Ukrainian armed forces' soldiers are unable to obtain necessary medical certificates and more.
To address such issues, a special working group has been established in Ukraine. One of its tasks is to develop possibilities for expediting the work of military medical commissions.
Amid subpar performance by the military medical commissions in Ukraine, scandalous incidents have arisen. For instance, recently, a man from the Odesa region, who was mobilized with epilepsy, passed away in one of the military units. Law enforcement initiated an investigation into this matter.
