Report: Ukraine proposes splitting military recruitment offices, setting fixed service terms

In January 2026, Volodymyr Zelensky replaced Ukraine’s defense minister — Denys Shmyhal was succeeded by Mykhailo Fedorov, who had previously headed the Ministry of Digital Transformation and served as first deputy prime minister. Shortly after his appointment, Fedorov promised to overhaul the military training system and said it was impossible to ignore the problems surrounding the TCR. In early May, Zelensky promised to carry out a new “major stage of army reform.” Ukrainska Pravda spoke with sources and reviewed the current proposals, and reported on what changes are being discussed at the Defense Ministry, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the president’s office.
