More than 10,000 citizens are eager to sign a new one-year service contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which includes the option for demobilization and a one-time financial aid payment of one million hryvnias. Ukrainians are actively submitting applications through the mobile app "Reserv+", where they can also review all terms of service, military vacancies, and a list of brigades available for contract signing. This information was shared by the agency representative Dmitry Lazutkin during a telethon broadcast on February 17.

The official mentioned that this is "service information" that the agency cannot disclose publicly, but he immediately provided an approximate number of individuals who have already agreed to the new terms of contract service through the app.

"We generally do not disclose this service information. However, we can say that there are more than 10,000 inquiries in the 'Reserv+' app," noted Lazutkin.

"Contract 18-24": How to Join

It is important to note that this statistic only pertains to the "Reserv+" app. As for other application methods for participating in the program, the Ministry of Defense representative has not yet provided that information. Nevertheless, it can be done through the website 18-24.army.gov.ua, as well as by calling the "hotline" of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

In addition to the mentioned ways to join the updated contract terms, there are other options. In particular:

  • recruitment directly through brigades;
  • contacting recruitment centers.

This was also discussed by Dmitry Lazutkin during the television marathon.

It was also previously revealed that not all Ukrainians can join the "Contract 18-24." This will depend on interviews with representatives of the Armed Forces brigades, as reported on February 13.
