The new stage of implementation involves conducting 280 training sessions for over 8400 servicemen of the Defense Forces, which will take place from August 2025 to December 2026.

'During the training sessions, participants acquire new knowledge and refine their skills in providing first psychological aid and self-help in combat conditions, according to international standards and protocols,'

'This activity is carried out in cooperation with psychological support officers in the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,' the General Staff's message states.

The main activities are aimed at enhancing military readiness for potential combat actions and providing them with the necessary skills if needed.

This initiative is an important component of the training of Ukrainian servicemen, as psychological resilience can significantly impact their effectiveness in combat conditions. Today, in the context of military aggression, the ability to provide first psychological aid and respond correctly to stressful situations becomes critically important for every serviceman.
