The Ukrainian Army has opened a new recruitment center in Heroiv Maidanu, Chernivtsi, increasing its enlistment facilities to 33.
It accepts applicants from 18 to 60 years old and provides options for a preferred military branch and unit based on the individual’s civilian experience.
The center operates during work hours on weekdays for submissions and related consultations on unit information and conditions of service.
Trainees will receive basic general military lessons and specialized courses upon selection, the army noted.
“We expect that every citizen will be able to find their place in the Ukrainian Armed Forces if they wish,” Chernivtsi Mayor Roman Klichuk explained. “Hence, we encourage city residents and visitors to get in touch with the Recruitment Center.”
Chernivtsi Regional Military Administration Head Ruslan Zaparaniuk added that the initiative “holds significant importance” for the armed forces, saying that the project “will enable each citizen to prove themselves in the defense of [Ukraine] based on their abilities.”
Over 10,000 Roles Available
The army said that the Heroiv Maidanu center is collaborating with military drone groups to choose future unmanned aerial system operators in addition to ground, air, special operations, and intelligence teams.
Currently, Kyiv is recruiting for more than 10,000 positions in various branches of the armed forces.
“We aim to guarantee that every recruit gets to the chosen unit for their position. In recent months, a noticeable increase in volunteer participation has been observed,” Ukrainian Defence Ministry Recruitment Officer Oleksiy Bezhevets stated.
“This serves as evidence that the initiative is on the right track and proves the feasibility of already 33 centers in Ukraine.”
