The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) urged politicians not to interfere in the organization of the country's defense, with the exception of those places that are determined by law. This statement was made by the country's Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov, according to the department's website.

“I urge you (politicians who head local and regional administrations -) to refrain from actions and statements that politicize the organization of territorial defense. We are talking about the most important thing - the protection of our country. There is no place for PR and distortion. We must all work together for the sake of Ukraine's interests, each within the limits of his authority, "Reznikov noted.

He drew attention to the fact that such initiatives only hinder the Armed Forces of Ukraine from fulfilling its duty, the vertical of power in defense matters is being violated.

Earlier, the mayor of Kiev Vitali Klitschko announced the creation of the headquarters of the territorial defense forces. He met with representatives of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, the city police.
