Biography

Naiev was born on 30 April 1970, in Mohyliv-Podilskyi, Vinnytsia Oblast, and pursued his education from 1987 to 1991 at the Moscow Higher Military Command School, attaining the rank of lieutenant upon completion.[3][4] Between 1991 and 1993, he served as the commander of a motorized infantry platoon within a unit of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany.[5]

In 2014, Naiev played a pivotal role as the head of Sector B during the intense battles for Donetsk airport.[5] Following his service, he assumed the role of the commander of Operational Command East from 2015 to 2017, having previously served as the chief executive officer at Operational Command South.[6]

In March 2018, Viktor Muzhenko, the head of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, appointed Naiev as his deputy.[7] From 16 March 2018 to 6 May 2019, Naiev held the position of commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.[8] Subsequently, on 27 March 2020, he was reinstated in this role.[9] He was again removed from this position on 11 February 2024.[2]
