The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has refuted claims that electronic draft notices will be sent through the ‘Reserve+’ application starting in April. Officials clarified that the concept of an electronic draft notice does not exist within the current legal framework, meaning no government body can create or send such documents.
According to the ministry, the ‘Reserve+’ app does not possess this functionality, nor are there any plans to develop it. The application is designed to facilitate transparent communication between citizens and the government, allowing for data updates, access to information, and streamlined processes without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Officials emphasized that any reports regarding electronic draft notices being sent via ‘Reserve+’ are either misunderstandings or deliberate misinformation. They urged the public to rely on official sources for accurate information.
Earlier, several Ukrainian media outlets had reported that electronic draft notices would be issued starting April 1, suggesting that these notices would be considered delivered upon arrival in the military service member’s electronic cabinet, regardless of whether the individual had viewed or acknowledged them. Currently, the primary legal method for remote delivery of draft notices by the Territorial Recruitment Centers (TCC) is through postal services provided by ‘Ukrposhta.’
Additionally, recent statements from Yuliya Yatsyk, a member of parliament from the ‘Servant of the People’ party, indicated that the possibility of sending draft notices through the ‘Diia’ app was being considered as part of reforms aimed at strengthening mobilization efforts. However, the Ministry of Digital Transformation has officially stated that it is not considering or planning to implement electronic draft notices within the ‘Diia’ app, and there has been no discussion regarding the development of such functionality.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has dismissed rumors about the introduction of electronic draft notices through the 'Reserve+' app, clarifying that such notices do not exist in the legal framework. The ministry urged the public to refer to official sources for accurate information amid recent media reports on the topic.
