We simplified the receipt of officers' ranks by soldiers and sergeants with combat experience, and these are the right social elevators for the army - Presidential appeal

This is the most important thing - we must return all our people from captivity, all warriors and civilians, everyone and everyone who is waiting for a return. We will continue to do this. He signed a decree on the appointment of a commissioner for the protection of the rights of our soldiers and members of the military. Olga Reshetilova, a well -known Ukrainian human rights activist, will now be preparing a draft law on a military Ombudsman - we have to create such an institution.

And it is not just that there is one person - a systematic job is needed to have an Ombudsman's apparatus, all the real opportunities to influence the situation and help. And it is very important that each of our military feels: it is really real - to seek support and receive it. What exactly and how the military ombudsman should do, to build with the participation of our soldiers and to ask them directly. And we do it on the Army+Army platform.

We are launching a survey on a military Ombudsman, and I ask each of our soldiers, every officer to say what priorities should be. Today, there is a solution that helps our army to become more modern and implement the experience of defense now - the experience of this war. We have simplified receiving officers' ranks by soldiers and sergeants with combat experience, and these are the right social elevators for the army.

Today I want to thank the team of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and the Ministry of Agrarian Policy for the visit of our delegation to Damascus - to new Syria. I expect ministers' report on negotiations, the first results. And this is the leadership of Ukraine, it is the speed of Ukraine in foreign policy - just what can give the necessary plus. We can help restore Syria's stability after many years of Russian intervention, and this will definitely help us restore peace for ourselves.

It will be proper to restore our diplomatic relations with Syria, our economic cooperation. And I expect that Syria after Assad will respect international law as Assad could not and did not want. He was independent, dependent and simply did not understand what to respect his people and the international community. And one more. Today there are significant support from America for Ukraine. Packages for several billion.
