From now on, men from the age of 18 will be automatically put on the military register. The Ministry of Defense has announced this, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
It is also reported that the Cabinet of Ministers has adopted a resolution to launch a new pilot project to automatically register conscripts, persons liable for military service and reservists.
The following will be automatically registered for military service:
men who did not register at the age of 17 will automatically receive the status of a conscript from the moment they turn 18;
men aged 18–60 who are abroad - when receiving or exchanging passport documents at the units of the State Migration Service.
There is no need to visit a territorial recruitment and social support center or to undergo a military medical commission.
The Ministry of Defense notes that this decision reduces bureaucracy and simplifies the procedure for citizens and territorial recruitment and social support centers, now some people will be put on the military register without personal appeals, queues and additional certificates.
"We have established data exchange between the Ministry of Defense, the Migration Service, the demographic register and the civil registry. A person no longer needs to run around offices and stand in lines to fulfill his or her duty. The system will do it automatically, because it already has all the necessary data," commented Oksana Ferchuk, Deputy Minister of Defense for Digital Development.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in September, the Cabinet of Ministers established that men aged 25-60 years, who are not put on the military register are registered on the basis of information received by the Ministry of Defense from state registers.
In December, the government updated the procedure for issuing military registration documents, from now on they are created exclusively in electronic format.
