The centers offer more than 10,000 positions, the most popular of which are drivers, UAV operators, staff employees, and medics.
Militarnyi recently reported that 6,500 volunteers join the Armed Forces monthly through all recruitment forms, with a growing trend.
Recruitment development
The Cabinet of Ministers has recently amended the Procedure for Conscription of Citizens for Military Service During Mobilization, which allowed military units to mobilize volunteers without a recruitment center. Military unit commanders can provide assignments for military medical examination to the degree of suitability for military service.

They can man combat military units with volunteers who desire to serve under conscription.
Volunteers liable for military service and reservists can also choose a military unit for service without applying to territorial recruitment and social support centers. The General Staff of the Armed Forces will determine the list of such military units. In addition, in late September, it was reported that the Reserve+ app would launch a recruitment service with current vacancies in military units in October.

The system will offer the most suitable options based on this information and the selected skills.
