A Recruitment Center of the Ukrainian Army has been established in Vinnytsia, marking the country's 48th facility of this kind

The new Ukrainian Army Recruitment Center was established in the administrative center of Vinnytsia Oblast, marking the region's first such facility. From now on, individuals can receive consultations and enlist in the Defence Forces at the following address: 85 Bratslavska Street, Vinnytsia, Transparent Office ‘Stare Misto’ ('Old Town'). For remote inquiries, information is available via phone: +38 (050) 191 7567.

The Center's operating hours are Monday through Friday from 08:30 to 16:00. The Center will be staffed by civilian professionals who have undergone appropriate training.

“We are expanding the network of Recruitment Centers. Over 36,000 individuals have received professional consultations since the centers began operating. Our objective is to ensure that the process of joining the Ukrainian Defence Forces is as transparent, convenient, and effective as possible, enabling everyone to find a role that aligns with their experience and potential,” noted Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine, Brigadier General of Justice Serhii Melnyk.

“The Recruitment Center is an open space where every resident of Vinnytsia can receive consultations and learn about available positions and professions in the Defence Forces of Ukraine. We aim to increase the attractiveness of military service and make it as accessible as possible,” said Oleksandr Pishchyk, Deputy Head of the Vinnytsia Regional Military Administration.

It is possible to contact these centers even after receiving call-up papers to verify and update personal data.

The database of the Recruitment Centers of the Ukrainian Army includes over 10,000 vacancies in units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine. UAV-related roles, driver positions, and marksman specialties are the most popular among citizens.

“The Recruitment Center is a convenient platform for those seeking to contribute to the defense of the state. We have established a flexible system allowing individuals to select a military unit and position aligned with their civilian experience and preferences. We receive inquiries from young people and women, with nearly 20% of all inquiries coming from women. We therefore encourage residents of the city and the region to call or visit the Administrative Services Center and select their role in the Defence Forces,” emphasized Oleksii Bezhevets, recruitment officer for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence.

In total, there are now 48 Recruitment Centers of the Ukrainian Army across Ukraine, 47 of which operate offline, mainly in the premises of the Administrative Services Centers. An online Recruitment Center has also been in operation since the end of last year.

In addition, the support hotline at 0 800 35 27 00 is available for consultations from 09:00 to 18:00, seven days a week.
