Since the mobilization reform law came into force on May 18, 4,690,496 draft-eligible Ukrainian citizens have updated their military registration, Defense Ministry announced on July 17.

According to the ministry, 3,028,066 people updated their data through the government’s Reserve+ app, with 1,152,227 doing so in-person via Administrative Service Centers.

The least popular approach was to go through the military recruitment centers— only 510,203 people went this route.

As of July 16, the two-month deadline has passed for adult male Ukrainians aged 18-60 to update their registration.

Earlier on July 17, Deputy Defense Minister Kateryna Chernohorenko stated that the Reserve+ app would still allow data updates after July 16, but only for those who had never used the app before, making it their first authorization.

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.
