Focus published a ranking of 100 most influential Ukrainians 2026 of the year
Among the military, first place went to the Ukrainian military as a collective figure, second – Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi, third — Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Brigadier General Pavlo Palisa.
Drapatyi took command of the Armed Forces in July and since then has launched a number of changes in the military, including a review of the personnel system and personnel reshuffles. Among his priorities are the development of a corps-based system, greater autonomy for the corps, and the technologization of the army.
During the year Palisa dealt with defense issues, the situation at the front, staffing, and the training of servicemembers. One of his tasks he names as “laying the foundations for the might of the Defense Forces” for 5-7-10 years ahead.
