\"Ukraine<\/p>\n

Highly-trained Air Force specialists are protected from being transferred to front-line infantry units, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Jan. 19.<\/p>\n

Reports last week indicated<\/a> that since 2024, thousands of Air Force soldiers have been transferred to the Ground Forces.<\/p>\n

Videos filmed by Air Force specialists themselves then surfaced, claiming their transfer to front-line units was “a real challenge<\/a>” that could “destroy the very foundation of our aviation.”<\/p>\n

The General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces on Jan. 14 said the transfer of some personnel is “a necessary step<\/a>” to strengthen defense by reinforcing combat brigades with soldiers from other branches of the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

But it stressed that Syrskyi<\/a> prohibited the transfer of high-tech specialists and those trained abroad on foreign models of weapons and equipment.<\/p>\n

“I have an order prohibiting the transfer of highly qualified personnel who have undergone training and specialize in aircraft maintenance,” Syrskyi reiterated in an interview with journalist Andriy Tsaplienko<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Clearly, these are specialists on whom money has been spent, who have gained experience, and who are practically irreplaceable,” he added.<\/p>\n

But in a separate interview with Ukrainian news outlet TSN on Jan. 19, Syrskyi \u00a0acknowledged that current mobilization efforts are not sufficient on their own to meet the needs of the armed forces.<\/p>\n

Fighting has intensified in Eastern Ukraine as Ukraine and Russia try to gain the upper hand in potential upcoming peace negotiations<\/a> as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump<\/a> is set to be inaugurated on Jan. 20.<\/p>\n

“We have needs at the front. We must increase the number of personnel in our mechanized brigades, ” unfortunately mobilization<\/a> does not cover demand from the frontline, Syrskyi said<\/a>.<\/p>\n
