Direct speech: “Today there is an important personnel decision. On the recommendation of the Minister of Defense, I replaced the commander of the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Instead of Major General of the Medical Service Tatyana Ostashchenko, Major General of the Medical Service Anatoly Kazmirchuk, head of the National Military Medical Clinical Center “Main Military Clinical Hospital” in the city of Kiev, was appointed as the new commander.
Details: The President explained that in society, and in particular in the community of combat medics, it has been repeatedly said that “we need a fundamentally new level of medical support for our soldiers.”
“From high-quality turnstiles to complete digitalization and transparency in supply, from high-quality training to sincere communication with combat medics in those units where medicine is deployed truly correctly and truly effectively. The experience of the effectiveness of specific units must be extended to all defense forces. Today at a meeting with “Minister of Defense Umerov has set priorities, and there won’t be much time to wait for results. Changes need to be made quickly,” Zelensky said.
What preceded: On November 13, Ukrainskaya Pravda wrote that Defense Minister Rustem Umerov was preparing proposals for the dismissal of the commander of the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Tatyana Ostashchenko, the commander of the Tavria operational-strategic group of troops Alexander Tarnavsky and the commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergei Naev.
As you know, paramedics and volunteers who provide medical support to the Defense Forces insisted on Ostashchenko’s dismissal.
