At the NSDC session, President Petro Poroshenko emphasized the necessity of
approving new military-administrative division. The Head of State noted that
our country was guided by the fact that “in the long-term historical
perspective, the main military threat is Russia – the country-aggressor”.
The President emphasized that new military-administrative zoning would
increase the efficiency of mobilization preparation and optimize the
territorial defense system based on the experience gained over the past two
years.
“Until recently, this zoning was based on the fact that the majority of
military formations of Ukraine were located near the western border of Ukraine
where all conditions for the troops were provided,” the President said. At the
same time, the eastern border was not demarcated and virtually there was no
eastern defense line, as stated by Petro Poroshenko. Thus, the country paid an
extremely high price for that.
The National Security and Defense Council chaired by the President is
considering three issues related to the hybrid war of Russia against Ukraine,
namely the State Defense Order for 2016, new military-administrative zoning and
the Cybersecurity Strategy of Ukraine.
