Ukraine's military leadership is enacting significant policy changes aimed at safeguarding soldiers during training exercises. Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukraine's top general, has mandated the construction of new shelters at training facilities, following deadly Russian missile attacks.

This decision comes on the heels of several attacks that have highlighted disciplinary and safety lapses within the military ranks. Recently, a Russian strike resulted in notable casualties, prompting calls for immediate reforms.

Last month, Mykhailo Drapatyi, commander of Ukraine's ground forces, resigned to underline the importance of accountability and military discipline. His departure has intensified efforts to build a stronger, more resilient military structure in the face of continued Russian aggression.
