Mobilization in Ukraine: The Armed Forces told whether 18-year-olds could call

The Head of the Public Relations Service of the Armed Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladimir Fito said this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine. "The enchantment to the conscripts occurs at the age of seventeen - even when the boys study at school: they undergo a primary medical examination and, accordingly, are already on military accounting in their shopping mall and JV," he said.

After that, young people receive a certificate that is a necessary document for entry into secondary education institutions or higher education institutions. Fitio stressed that the 18-year-old can issue a summons, but this is not a guarantee of sending them to the front. "Yes - they can be handed over a summons, then they just appear in their shopping center and joint venture, show a certificate of study or come with the presented certificate.

Even better - have all these documents with them and all these issues are immediately removed. Do not send to the front. The summons is to clarify the credentials, "he explained. A representative of the Land Forces also stressed that within the mobilization of 18-year-olds they are not called into the army. However, men aged 18 to 27 provide for the possibility of urgent service in the army.

If this age category is desired to participate in hostilities, they can do so on a voluntary basis, including students. "For example, if a student is studying, his age is up to 27 years and for some reason he took an academic reception or dismissed from a higher education institution, but he has to study at the hospital - he is not mobilized. , - said the Fitio. We will remind, in the media with reference to sources reported which categories of Ukrainians will call in 2024.
