Mentor and advise: The professional development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine | Canadian Army...

"Trying to change the military culture of the country can only be successful in small steps, Toope emphasized. “It is a large organization with some 240,000 people. Many senior staff and general officers have remained in their respective positions since 2015, which frequently is not always conducive to implementing necessary doctrinal and operational changes. Change does happen, but there are also times when there is push-back. One of the realities in Ukraine is that many of their practices are mandated by law. Where we have policies, practices and protocols in Canada, the Ukrainians have laws which mandate and detail how issues are addressed. The inflexibility caused by things being enshrined in law can impede progress.”"
