More than 32,000 citizens received consultations at the recruiting centers of the Ukrainian army

In 2024, more than 32,000 Ukrainians turned to them for advice on entering the military service since the Ukrainian army recruiting centers began operating. Of these, 7,198 citizens are already being considered as candidates for the Defense Forces, undergoing the stage of selection and processing of documents.

This is reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

In the previous week, 901 Ukrainians applied to the centers. It is important that summonses are not distributed there, and all consultations are held in compliance with the terms of confidentiality.

Today, there are already 47 recruiting centers of the Ukrainian army operating in Ukraine. Only in the last 2 weeks, with the assistance of the Ministry of Defense and local communities, two new centers were opened – in Volyn and Zhytomyr region.

“Next year, we plan to expand the network of such centers. Their main advantage is that they provide a transparent and convenient process of entering military service. Everyone who expressed a desire to join the Defense Forces has the opportunity to choose a specialty and place of service, as well as receive an extended package of benefits and social guarantees that extend even to members of their families,” emphasized the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Brigadier General of Justice Serhiy Melnyk.

Residents of Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Lviv, Zaporizhzhia regions and the city of Kyiv demonstrate the highest activity in terms of the number of appeals.

As a reminder, the centers offer candidates more than 10,000 vacancies in various military formations, such as the Armed Forces, the National Guard, the State Border Guard Service and the SBU.

We remind you that through the Army+ application, servicemen will be able to express their opinion on the establishment of the military ombudsman institute.
