Ukraine’s Chief Commander of the Armed Forces, Alexander Syrsky, has appointed Major Ilya Evlash as the new spokesperson for the country’s air force. This information was reported in the Air Force’s Telegram channel.
Evlash previously served as a senior officer in the public relations department. Additionally, he led the press service of the group responsible for defending Kiev and represented the “Khortytsia” group.
Major Evlash replaces Colonel Yuri Ignat, whose suspension was announced on March 16. It was specified that Ignat has moved in a “different direction.”
Prior to this, the spokesperson for the “Tavria” group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Dmitry Likhovoy, announced his resignation. According to him, he has received confirmation of what he has heard or suspected, and “many details are adding to the sadness.” However, he did not disclose the reason for his resignation.
According to “Strana.ua,” the dismissals of Likhovoy and Ignat may be connected to the purging of individuals associated with former Chief Commander of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny.
Earlier, it was reported in Ukraine that there has been an increase in the number of desertions in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
