A micromanager of war. How Syrskyi is forming his own guard of influence in the Armed Forces

"Are we going to shoot down Russian satellites?" jokingly asked during a meeting with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky one of the journalists.

The chief of staff dodged the question. But even without that, the announced Space Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are entrusted with many tasks: reconnaissance, navigation, and reliable communication. Therefore, their creation is a decision that is certainly timely.

By the end of 2025, the process of creating a number of new branches of the armed forces will continue, including unmanned air defense systems, space and cyber troops.

"It seems that Ukraine's potential in military space looks like this: we have great people in the past, a bare ass in the present, and great ambitions for the future," says one Defense Ministry officer about the April Space for Ukraine forum organized by the Defense Ministry.
