Draft deferment applications via Reserve+ app available from November
Ukrainian students, parents of multiple children, and individuals with disabilities will be able to apply for a deferment from military service via the Reserve+ app, Deputy Defense Minister Kateryna Chornohorenko announced on Sept. 27.
“Currently, to receive a deferment from conscription, a person must go to a Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC),” Interfax-Ukraine news agency quoted Chornohorenko.
“Their application is reviewed, and only then is a decision made on whether to approve it. We want to change this. At the beginning of November, we plan to implement three types of deferments.”
She also added that Reserve+ will automatically receive data from other state services. For example, to issue a deferment for students in full-time education, a corresponding request will be made to the Registry of the Education Ministry.
However, the data synchronization process may take some time, Chornohorenko noted.
The ministry previously announced that the Reserve+ app would launch an online recruitment service in October, displaying current vacancies in the Defense Forces.
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.
