What must happen for Territorial Recruitment Centers to stop catching conscripts on the street?
If all eligible men register for military service, Territorial Recruitment Centers (TRCs) will stop apprehending potential conscripts on the street, 3rd Separate Assault Brigade deputy commander, Maxym Zhorin, said.
If all eligible men register for military service, Territorial Recruitment Centers (TRCs) will stop apprehending potential conscripts on the street, 3rd Separate Assault Brigade deputy commander, Maxym Zhorin, told LIGA.net.
"In fact, if we had a proper military registry for all eligible men, we wouldn't have to deal with this process of catching and searching for conscripts," he said.
A comprehensive database of all men who are required to serve would allow the military to efficiently manage conscription.
"We would know each individual's specialty, profession, health status, age, and other relevant information,” he said.
“Based on this data, the army could request the exact number of personnel needed and only conscript those who are necessary, rather than indiscriminately drafting everyone regardless of their condition.”
“Therefore, we are partly to blame for the current situation," Zhorin said.
Once all eligible men are registered, the need to chase and apprehend conscripts will disappear.
"We would be able to directly enlist only those who are needed and in the required numbers," he said.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
