Overview
- Syrskyi, who issued the order Thursday, set a two‑month cap on duty in forward positions with replacement required within the next month.
- The directive mandates immediate medical exams after rotation and guarantees rest for soldiers coming off the line.
- Commanders must ensure timely delivery of food and ammunition to troops holding positions.
- Compliance will be strictly monitored across all front-line units, with violations punished under Ukrainian law and military rules.
- The order follows images of emaciated soldiers from the 14th Brigade that fueled public anger, yet it outlines no added measures to increase replacements needed for steady rotations.
