Ukraine's commander-in-chief launches audit of Armed Forces: No one will be "untouchable" (news article retracted)
Ukrainska Pravda is retracting the news article Ukraine's commander-in-chief launches audit of Armed Forces: No one will be "untouchable" as the information it contains does not correspond to reality.
The error occurred because an editor mistakenly treated information posted on what appeared to be a verified account of Mykhailo Drapatyi, new commander-in-chief of Ukraine's Armed Forces, as a reliable statement.
The Ukrainska Pravda editorial team sincerely apologises to its readers for this error.

Quote: "My goal is not to look for those to blame, but to honestly assess the real state of affairs in every military unit."
Details: Drapatyi said it is necessary to know the truth about combat readiness, supply, staffing, personnel training and management effectiveness.
"There will be no one who is 'untouchable'. If violations, negligence or abuse of duty are found, everyone will be held accountable," he noted.
Background:
- On 21 July, following six days of protests, Zelenskyy announced his decision to dismiss Oleksandr Syrskyi as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and appoint Mykhailo Drapatyi to replace him.
- Drapatyi said he will carry out his duties with respect for the people defending Ukraine.
