“The Ukrainian Army Recruitment Center was established to entice enthusiastic, patriotic people to serve in the military. We are grateful to the Ministry of Defence for this important initiative,” said Anatolii Bondarenko, Mayor of Cherkasy.

No call-up papers will be handed out in and around the Center, as regulations explicitly prohibit this. Over 10,000 vacancies are available, including cooks, repairers, lawyers, UAV operators, medics, etc. 

Recruitment is open across entire Defense Forces, including the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

As of today, over 17 thousand individuals have contacted Centers located throughout Ukraine. The Ministry of Defence establishes these Centers in cooperation with regional state authorities and local governments. All individuals were advised by non-military recruiters who had completed special training. 

“An increasing trend in recruits for the Defence Forces is observed every month. On average, 6.5 thousand volunteers are recruited each month across the country. The people are the core strength of the Defence Forces, and the Center provides an opportunity for them to join the ranks. Our recruitment specialists are on hand to offer consultations and aid in matching individuals with suitable positions in the military,” stated Oleksii Bezhevets, recruitment officer for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence.
