With a front line over 1000 km wide, it is senseless and inefficient to manually manage companies and battalions, Prokopenko stated

The advantage in effective management of operational-tactical and operational-strategic units has been utilized by the Russian Federation since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, ensuring their successes on the front. In the Ukrainian army, it is now difficult to find a brigade that does not fight with attached units in the form of companies and battalions, which often leads to significant deterioration of coordination, unjustified losses of personnel, and ultimately—failure to accomplish the assigned combat tasks, said the commander of the 12th “Azov” Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, Denys Prokopenko.

“Let us all dream of a victory plan where we begin to carry out real reforms and accumulate, or at least not disperse, resources. Time is working against us. Think about it,” he concludes.
