Lacking soldiers, Ukraine has started to reform its mobilization system

2024-04-11T14:10:54.633Z

Highlights: Residents of Ukraine's second city can not only change their identity cards or renew their licenses, but also take up arms. “We need everyone, women and men: shooters, artillerymen, machine gunners, cooks, drivers, mechanics, administrative assistants, drone operators, engineers,” say two representatives of the territorial defense of Kharkiv. The office of the “recruiting center’ – in English in the text – which opened on April 2 – is located in the city’s administrative services delivery center. The center is open to the public, but only until the end of the year. It is not clear if the center will be able to recruit people in time for the presidential election in February 2022. The election will be held on the same day as the 2014 presidential election, which was won by the incumbent, Viktor Yanukovych, by a narrow margin. The next presidential election will take place on May 25, 2014. The winner will be announced on May 26, 2014, and the winner will go on to the presidential elections on May 21, 2015.


REPORT - If support for the army remains extremely high among the population, according to polls, few people still volunteer, as was the case in February 2022.

Under a green screen with tiny letters, users wait for their number to be called, cursing, with their documents in hand, against the slowness of public services. The waiting room at the Kharkiv administrative services delivery center looks like any other institution in the world providing public services: an anxious, gray place full of disgruntled people.

But here, residents of Ukraine's second city can not only change their identity cards or renew their licenses, but also take up arms. At least metaphorically.

“We need everyone, women and men: shooters, artillerymen, machine gunners, but also cooks, drivers, mechanics, administrative assistants, drone operators, engineers,”
