In a number of regions, people with military experience will be appointed as leaders, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address on Monday.

In general, the president said, "it should be noted that we will combine the experience gained by our people in defending Ukraine – military experience – with specific managerial work in positions in local and central government."
