Ukraine’s Armed Forces to be reformed – Poroshenko

The sum amounts to 2.5% of the country’s GDP. “This is the maximum the Ukrainian economy and tax payers can do. But it covers the minimum needs of the army. The year 2016 was declared the Year of the Air Force. In this context a complete reorganization and a significant increase in the efficiency of the Air Force is planned, and first of all, it concerns the air defence, the President said. According to Poroshenko, much attention this year will also be paid to the newly created Special Forces, the restoration of the combat strength of the Naval Forces, and the development of highly mobile landing troops.
