The structure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is multifaceted.

In late 2010 the total personnel (including 41,000 civilian workers) was 200,000.[1] Conscription was ended in October 2013;[2] at that time the Ukrainian armed forces were made up of 40% conscripts and 60% contract soldiers.[2] In April 2014 acting President Oleksandr Turchynov reinstated conscription in May 2014.[3]
In early 2014, Ukraine had 130,000 personnel in its armed forces that could be boosted to about one million with reservists.[3]
There is a reported total of 250,800 personnel in the Armed Forces in 2015.[4]
Following the Russian aggression, Ukraine has adopted a new military doctrine (third edition) which made the Russian Federation its main opponent and announced Ukraine's intentions for closer relations with NATO armed services, most especially if it joins the organization in the future.[5]
The law 'On the Foundations of National Resistance' (Закон «Про основи національного спротиву», Section IX, Article 2. - 6)[6] establishes the following structure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces: the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (Генеральний штаб Збройних Сил України); the Joint Forces Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (Командування об’єднаних сил Збройних Сил України); three UAF services, being the
Ground Forces (Сухопутні війська); Air Force (Повітряні Сили), and Navy (Військово-Морські Сили) five separate branches (окремі роди сил Збройних Сил України): the Special Operations Forces Command (Командування Сил спеціальних операцій); the Territorial Defense Command (Командування територіальної оборони); the Logistical Forces Command (Командування Сил логістики); the Support Forces Command (Командування Сил підтримки); and the Medical Forces Command (Командування Медичних сил). In addition there are two separate troop arms (окремі роди військ Збройних Сил України) - the Air Landing Assault Troops Command (Командування Десантно-штурмових військ), and the Signals and Cyber-Security Troops Command (Командування Військ зв'язку та кібербезпеки). There are also organs of military command and control, formations and units, which are separate from the services, branches and arms (органи військового управління, з’єднання, військові частини, вищі військові навчальні заклади, військові навчальні підрозділи закладів вищої освіти, установи та організації, що не належать до видів та окремих родів військ (сил) Збройних Сил України.)
