At the specified address, individuals can seek consultation and potentially apply: 5 Nezalezhnosti St. (the premises of the city’s Administrative Services Center). Specially educated non-military recruiters are also on hand for advice. They can be reached by the following phone numbers: +38 (066) 372 2793, +38 (068) 694 2063.

“The commencement of these centers is a result of the Ministry of Defence's initiative, coupled with the assistance of district and regional military administrations. We are certain that this marks the way forward for our Armed Forces, with motivated defenders in service,” said Volodymyr Artiukh, head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration.

This is the third Recruitment Center of the Ukrainian Army in Sumy region. It was opened in cooperation with the Ministry of Defence, military administrations, and local governments. Shostka and Sumy have previously had similar centers established. Even though the first center in the region opened in May and the second one at the end of July, 339 people have already reached out for advice. The Sumy region sees a high number of women, constituting 30 percent, among the candidates joining the Defence Forces.

The recruitment center will not serve call-up papers. Additionally, individuals can contact recruiters and start the process of joining the army with call-up papers to clarify their data.

“Essentially, this whole story is about everyone's choice, regardless of gender, of their role in defending the state. This is a unique opportunity. It incorporates global experience. I encourage people in the community to get in touch with the center and visit non-military location that do not distribute call-up papers. At that place, you will be advised professionally on your potential defense contributions,” stated Oleksii Bezhevets, recruitment officer for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence.
