Russia’s war against Ukraine is becoming increasingly high-tech, creating a need for specialized personnel on the frontlines, Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesperson Dmytro Lazutkin said in an interview with NV on July 26.
"There are a lot of requests for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators now, because the war is becoming more high-tech, with robotic systems and UAVs being used a lot," he said.
"For the same reason, there is a growing need for people from the IT sector to deal with the modern and technological aspects of war."
Lazutkin also noted an increase in requests for rear specialties such as cooks and clerks. Drivers, mechanics, gunners, and scouts also remain in high demand.
He addressed concerns that all recruits are automatically assigned to assault brigades, noting that this only applies to a relatively small percentage of military personnel, and emphasized the importance of various roles in ensuring the efficient functioning of the army on the frontline, including logistics, supplies, administration, and internal investigations.
“In other words, the army is a huge organism that functions as efficiently as each of its links performs its tasks - quickly, efficiently and qualitatively.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
