In OK "West", which is subject to the territorial centers of staffing and social support of the Lviv region, told reporters that the penalty of Drohobych and Boryslav city mayors corresponded to the law. "Local self -government bodies, in particular, provide primary military registration of conscripts, conscripts and reservists, as well as measures of alert and ensure the arrival of reservists and conscripts at the collection points," the command said.

The military claim that the head of the Drohobych district shopping center and JV did not go beyond the "powers and competences given to him", and his actions meet the requirements of the current legislation. The command assured that all territorial centers of the western regions were open to dialogue with local authorities and grateful communities for the constant support and care they provide military units.

"In the face of aggression against Ukraine, we urge all participants of this process to work together, which should pursue one sole purpose - our victory," the military said. The Cabinet of Ministers approved on May 16, 2024 on May 16, 2024, stated that the city authorities are responsible for serving the military at the address of residence during the mobilization and should report to the results of such notification in the Tax Code.
