The '''military ranks of the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]]''' (AFU) were established on March 1992, when [[Ukraine]] adopted the [[Law on Military Duty and Military Service 1992]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Про військовий обов'язок і військову службу |url=https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/go/2232-12 |access-date=2024-02-28 |website=Офіційний вебпортал парламенту України |language=uk}}</ref> |

The '''military ranks of Ukraine''' were created in March 1992 after adopting the law of Ukraine "About Universal Military Duty and Military Service". The rank structure corresponds the generic military rank structure of the Soviet Union. Ukrainian armed forces have two styles of ranks - army, which is used by [[Ukrainian Ground Forces|ground forces]] as well as [[Ukrainian Air Force|aerial forces]], and naval - the [[Ukrainian Navy]]. |

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have two styles of [[military rank|ranks]]: |

Ukraine, like the Russian Federation, eliminated the descriptor "of aviation" following the air force ranks. The rank of a serviceman of a [[guards unit]], formation or ship may be followed by the word “guards.” The rank of a serviceman of the legal, medical or veterinary professions shall be followed by the words “of Justice,” “of the medical service,” or “of the veterinary service,” to their respective ranks. The rank of a citizen having reserve or retired status shall be followed by the words “reserve” or “retired,” respectively.<ref>{{uk icon}} [http://zakon1.rada.gov.ua/cgi-bin/laws/main.cgi?nreg=2232-12 The Law of Ukraine, On General Military Duty and Military Service]</ref> |

* Army ranks, which are used by the [[Ukrainian Ground Forces]], [[Ukrainian Air Force]], and [[Ukrainian Marine Corps]] |
|||
* Naval ranks, which are used by the [[Ukrainian Navy]] |

Whilst previously Ukraine maintained a [[Military ranks of the Soviet Union|USSR-style system]], its current system follows a [[NATO]] standardization. |

On 17 October 2019, the [[Verkhovna Rada|parliament of Ukraine]] approved a change in the rank structure of enlisted men in order to conform to the [[Ranks and insignia of NATO|NATO STANAG 2116]] standardization. The change was implemented with the 2020 military reform.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Ponomarenko |first1=Illia |author-link=Illia Ponomarenko |title=Rada approves new ranks, NATO-style amendments to military instructions |url=https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/rada-approves-new-ranks-nato-style-amendments-to-military-instructions.html |access-date=7 December 2019 |work=kyivpost.com |agency=Kyiv Post |publisher=Businessgroup LLC |date=17 October 2019}}</ref> This resulted in the abolition of the rank of [[General of the Army of Ukraine]] by Law nr. 680-IX, on 1 October 2020.<ref>{{cite news |title=Официально: в Украине вводятся новые воинские звания |url=https://sprotyv.info/news/oficialno-v-ukraine-vvodyatsya-novye-voinskie-zvaniya |access-date=10 February 2021 |work=sprotyv.info/ |date=24 July 2020 |language=ru}}</ref> |

=== Modern Ukraine === |
|||
The independent Ukraine inherited the ranks of the Soviet Union. But there were some changes. |
|||
The rank of "Єфрейтор" ([[efreitor]]) was changed to the "senior soldier" and the rank of private was changed to the "soldier". Also, marshall ranks and the category of praporshchyks/midshipmen were abolished. |
|||
The first graduates of the Training Centre for Sergeants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in [[Kharkiv]] became the first professional sergeants, who wore cloth shoulder straps with a new insignia.<ref>[http://mil.in.ua/index.php/news/157-2009-03-06-13-13-53.html Український міліарний портал] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303185700/http://mil.in.ua/index.php/news/157-2009-03-06-13-13-53.html |date=2016-03-03 }}</ref> |

These changes were aimed to conform with NATO standards. Until 2009, Ukrainian soldiers used a military rank insignia of the Soviet model. Before the changes, a Ukrainian major general could be confused with an ordinary major, as they both had only one star on the Soviet straps. The new straps of major general have two stars, like in most NATO countries.<ref>[http://kp.ua/daily/110909/193979/print/ Комсомольская правда, Украина]</ref> Also, the new system of military insignia makes possible to introduce new ranks, such as [[Brigadier General|brigade general]] or new types of sergeant. New straps of generals have crossed [[mace (bludgeon)|maces]] ([[bulawa]]s), which are kleinods ([[regalia]]) of [[Hetman]], [[Polkovnyk|colonel]] and [[Koshovyi Otaman|Otaman of the Host]]. |

These experimental insignia |
These experimental insignia were never fully adopted and were abandoned shortly afterwards. Up until 2015 the Armed Forces kept using the Soviet-style insignia and rank system, albeit in the case of the Ground Forces and the Air Force the old insignia stayed with the officer corps while the 2009 proposal for NCO insignia saw wider adoption and thus replaced the Soviet insignia. |

Chief sergeant of a branch of the armed forces is a projected post in Ukraine. The chief sergeant is a person who knows almost all issues that relate to non-commissioned officers. Therefore, the chief sergeant of a branch of the armed forces may be adviser to the head of the appropriate level – for example, the commander of land forces of Ukraine. The Ministry of Defence is working to change the statute and, possibly, the new post was projected to be introduced {{circa|2012–2013}}.<ref>{{in lang|uk}} [http://www.unian.net/rus/news/news-333934.html www.unian.net]</ref> |

In airmobile units (now [[Ukrainian Air Assault Forces]]) there were also posts of [[Sergeant Major|chief sergeant]] of the division and chief sergeant of the brigade. |

===2016 system=== |
||
In late July 2015, [[Ukrainian President|President]] [[Petro Poroshenko]] stated that Ukraine needed to introduce new military ranks that meet Ukrainian military traditions "and corresponds to the structure of [[NATO]] [[Ranks and insignia of NATO|military ranks]]".<ref>[http://www.unian.info/politics/1105331-poroshenko-wants-to-introduce-new-ukrainian-military-ranks.html Poroshenko wants to introduce new Ukrainian military ranks], [[UNIAN]] (27 July 2015)</ref> However, the system then proposed replicated the Soviet hierarchy of military ranks and had no relation to the NATO system whatsoever, with only a cosmetic change to the shoulder strap insignia. |
|||
The reform of 2016 |
The reform of 2016 was meant to achieve NATO standardization while honoring the traditions of [[Cossacks]] in Ukraine, the Ukrainian independence armies, and the [[Ukrainian People's Army]] of the [[Russian Civil War]], the [[Ukrainian War of Independence]], and the [[Second World War]]-era [[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]], adapting their rank insignias to suit a modern AFU for the current times and beyond.<ref>[http://focus.ua/country/334871/ Украинская армия не должна выглядеть огрызком советской, — Виталий Гайдукевич], (3 August 2015)</ref> |

While option 1 uses the old system but with new other ranks insignia, option 2 uses a US-style insignia for enlisted ranks, NCOs, and the [[Brigadier general]] rank. In both cases, all officers use pips while the General of the Army of Ukraine has the crossed [[Bulawa]] as insignia. Early proposals had the General of the Army shoulder insignia to use the state coat of arms. |

[[Ukrainian Ground Forces#Uniforms|Uniforms]] using the revised system debuted on 24 August 2016, as Ukraine marked the silver jubilee of nationhood.<ref name=nuUaWP>[http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/aug/25/fashion-statement-ukrainian-troops-debut-post-sovi/ Fashion statement: Ukrainian troops debut post-Soviet uniforms], [[The Washington Times]] (25 August 2016)</ref> The stars used for officers' ranking from the Soviet era were [[Ukrainian Ground Forces#Military ranks|replaced with British military style diamonds]] – inspired by those used by the [[Ukrainian State]] of 1918. |
||
The Navy planned to phase-in new insignia by 2017, with a unified set shoulder and sleeve rank insignia similar to many NATO and European Union naval forces with distinctions: |
|||
*Western-styled sleeve insignia used for officers of the naval branch |
|||
*Dark boards with Army-styled insignia for officers of the marine division, naval aviation and shore establishment commands |
|||
On 30 May 2019, the [[Verkhovna Rada]] (Ukrainian parliament) adopted as a basis Bill No. 10181 on the introduction of sergeant ranks in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in accordance with the column "NATO Code" in STANAG 2116. The bill aims to improve Ukraine's legislation on military service with the aim of streamlining the disciplinary powers of officials, settlement of some issues of daily activity, determination of the rights and duties of the sergeant (officers) and some other officials of the UAF. |
|||
It was proposed to introduce a new scale of military ranks. In addition, separation of the sergeant and senior officers into junior and senior ranks (and general/flag officers for the officer corps) was foreseen, as well as the introduction of a sergeant major rank to the armed forces. |
|||
It is also envisaged to change the limitation age for military service for sergeants, which eliminates the problem when a sergeant under the law can not reach retirement due to a conflict between the current legislation.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ukrmilitary.com/2019/05/sergeant-ranks.html |title=Нові звання у ЗСУ – законопроект прийнято за основу |date=2019-05-30 |website=www.ukrmilitary.com |publisher=Ukrainian Military Pages |access-date=2019-05-30}}</ref> |

| History of the Ukrainian Military |
The military ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) were established on March 1992, when Ukraine adopted the Law on Military Duty and Military Service 1992.[1]
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have two styles of ranks:
- Army ranks, which are used by the Ukrainian Ground Forces, Ukrainian Air Force, and Ukrainian Marine Corps
- Naval ranks, which are used by the Ukrainian Navy
Whilst previously Ukraine maintained a USSR-style system, its current system follows a NATO standardization.
Current military rank insignia
[edit]Introduction of NATO-style ranks
[edit]On 17 October 2019, the parliament of Ukraine approved a change in the rank structure of enlisted men in order to conform to the NATO STANAG 2116 standardization. The change was implemented with the 2020 military reform.[2] This resulted in the abolition of the rank of General of the Army of Ukraine by Law nr. 680-IX, on 1 October 2020.[3]
Effective 23 May 2023, the Marine Corps was separated from the Navy as an independent branch of the AFU. The Corps retained the shoulder and sleeve insignia inherited from the Navy, pending the introduction of a new set of insignia designs.[citation needed]
Commissioned officer ranks
[edit]The following are the rank insignia of commissioned officers.

Nomenclature
[edit]Certain branches are suffixed with a descriptor indicating their specialty branch or if they are reservists or have retired.[6]
| Branch / status | Descriptor |
|---|---|
| Legal | X of justice |
| Medical | X of the medical service |
| Veterinary | X of the veterinary service |
| Reserve | X (Reserve) |
| Retired | X (Retired) |
Formerly, air force ranks were suffixed with "of aviation". Similarly, guards unit ranks were prefixed "guards" following the rank of a serviceman of a guards unit. These descriptors have now been abolished.[citation needed]
Former rank systems
[edit] |
1991 system
[edit]Ukraine inherited the ranks of the Soviet Union upon becoming independent, with some changes:
- The rank "Єфрейтор" (Yefryeitor) was changed to "senior soldier"
- The rank "private" was changed to "soldier"
- Marshal ranks and the category of praporshchyks (midshipmen) were abolished

[edit]The first graduates of the Training Centre for Sergeants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kharkiv became the first professional sergeants, who wore cloth shoulder straps with a new insignia.[7]

These changes were aimed to conform with NATO standards. Until 2009, Ukrainian soldiers used a military rank insignia of the Soviet model. Before the changes, a Ukrainian major general could be confused with an ordinary major, as they both had only one star on the Soviet straps. The new straps of major general have two stars, like in most NATO countries.[8] Also, the new system of military insignia makes possible to introduce new ranks, such as brigade general or new types of sergeant. New straps of generals have crossed maces (bulawas), which are kleinods (regalia) of Hetman, colonel and Otaman of the Host.
These experimental insignia were never fully adopted and were abandoned shortly afterwards. Up until 2015 the Armed Forces kept using the Soviet-style insignia and rank system, albeit in the case of the Ground Forces and the Air Force the old insignia stayed with the officer corps while the 2009 proposal for NCO insignia saw wider adoption and thus replaced the Soviet insignia.
Sergeant major (the post of chief sergeant)
[edit]Chief sergeant of a branch of the armed forces is a projected post in Ukraine. The chief sergeant is a person who knows almost all issues that relate to non-commissioned officers. Therefore, the chief sergeant of a branch of the armed forces may be adviser to the head of the appropriate level – for example, the commander of land forces of Ukraine. The Ministry of Defence is working to change the statute and, possibly, the new post was projected to be introduced c. 2012–2013.[9] In airmobile units (now Ukrainian Air Assault Forces) there were also posts of chief sergeant of the division and chief sergeant of the brigade.

2016 system
[edit]In late July 2015, President Petro Poroshenko stated that Ukraine needed to introduce new military ranks that meet Ukrainian military traditions "and corresponds to the structure of NATO military ranks".[10] However, the system then proposed replicated the Soviet hierarchy of military ranks and had no relation to the NATO system whatsoever, with only a cosmetic change to the shoulder strap insignia.
The reform of 2016 was meant to achieve NATO standardization while honoring the traditions of Cossacks in Ukraine, the Ukrainian independence armies, and the Ukrainian People's Army of the Russian Civil War, the Ukrainian War of Independence, and the Second World War-era Ukrainian Insurgent Army, adapting their rank insignias to suit a modern AFU for the current times and beyond.[11]

While option 1 uses the old system but with new other ranks insignia, option 2 uses a US-style insignia for enlisted ranks, NCOs, and the Brigadier general rank. In both cases, all officers use pips while the General of the Army of Ukraine has the crossed Bulawa as insignia. Early proposals had the General of the Army shoulder insignia to use the state coat of arms.

In 2016, new rank insignia designs were issued for the Navy, which included both shoulder and sleeve insignia for all ranks.

Uniforms using the revised system debuted on 24 August 2016, as Ukraine marked the silver jubilee of nationhood.[12] The stars used for officers' ranking from the Soviet era were replaced with British military style diamonds – inspired by those used by the Ukrainian State of 1918.
The Navy planned to phase-in new insignia by 2017, with a unified set shoulder and sleeve rank insignia similar to many NATO and European Union naval forces with distinctions:
- Western-styled sleeve insignia used for officers of the naval branch
- Dark boards with Army-styled insignia for officers of the marine division, naval aviation and shore establishment commands
On 30 May 2019, the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) adopted as a basis Bill No. 10181 on the introduction of sergeant ranks in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in accordance with the column "NATO Code" in STANAG 2116. The bill aims to improve Ukraine's legislation on military service with the aim of streamlining the disciplinary powers of officials, settlement of some issues of daily activity, determination of the rights and duties of the sergeant (officers) and some other officials of the UAF.
It was proposed to introduce a new scale of military ranks. In addition, separation of the sergeant and senior officers into junior and senior ranks (and general/flag officers for the officer corps) was foreseen, as well as the introduction of a sergeant major rank to the armed forces.
It is also envisaged to change the limitation age for military service for sergeants, which eliminates the problem when a sergeant under the law can not reach retirement due to a conflict between the current legislation.[13]
