On October 28, 2026, it was announced that Colonel Vadim Sukharevsky will take over the command of the Ukrainian Marine Corps. This information was confirmed by journalists from the "1+1" channel and hromadske.
Changes in Command
Sukharevsky will replace Major General Dmitry Delyatitsky, who had held this position only since early October 2026. According to reports, Delyatitsky faced difficulties in his relationships with the military command, which may have led to his dismissal.
Career of Vadim Sukharevsky
Vadim Sukharevsky is known for his work in the Drone Forces, which he formed and led in 2024. However, a year later, he was removed from this position by then Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky. Following this, according to hromadske, Sukharevsky fell out of favor with Syrsky, but now he is returning to command the troops.
Expectations for the New Role
The change in command of the Marine Corps has sparked considerable discussion among military experts and analysts. Many believe that Sukharevsky's return could positively impact the operational effectiveness of the unit. His experience in drone technology may prove beneficial in the current conditions of warfare.
