    Ukraine's New Commander Halts Personnel Replenishment in Stormtrooper Regiments

    Mikhail Draptat, the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, has ordered a halt to the replenishment of personnel in stormtrooper regiments of the Ground Forces. This decision, effective from July 26, limits the recruitment of new military personnel from reserve battalions, other units, and mobilized TCC. Only those who left before June 12 can return through the 'Army+' program. This move comes amid investigations into abuses in these units and concerns about their future. Previously, at least two regiments, the 425th 'Skala' and the 225th, had exclusive rights to constant replenishment and expansion.
