"It is extremely important that at the recruitment centre a person can get all the comprehensive information and advice on possible employment in the Defence Forces of Ukraine," said Ihor Chaika, Mayor of Kovel.

Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine, Brigadier General of Justice Serhii Melnyk, said that the network of such centres is actively developing, and several more are planned to be opened in different regions of Ukraine in the near future.

It is also noted that recruitment centres of the Ukrainian army do not issue draft notices - this is expressly prohibited by regulations. Recruiters accompany every person who has expressed a desire to join the Defence Forces on the "recruitment path" and resolve any misunderstandings.

Ukrainians are most interested in vacancies for drivers, medics, UAV operators and staff positions. At the same time, a significant number of people want to join the Defence Forces for "combat" positions.
