UAH 64,9 million will be allocated for measures to ensure conscription. These funds will be transferred to the accounts of regional military commissariats.
Dendebera noted that compared to last year, the number of conscripts increased by 3 thousand. This is due to an increase in the number of conscripts in the State Border Service and the National Guard.
According to a representative of the General Staff, the main thing that attention will be paid to during the draft is the health status of the conscripts. Marital status will also be taken into account, in particular, which will not be difficult due to the person’s conscription.
