A new initiative in Ukraine has been introduced, according to which young men under the age of 25 who receive a general citizenship passport will automatically be registered for military service. The decision has caused a wide resonance in society and has become a subject of discussion among young people and experts.
In particular, those who have gone abroad, the Donetsk Regional CCC reports, referring to the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers.
"Young people aged 17 to 25 will be able to register as conscripts without the need to visit territorial recruitment centers and undergo a medical examination. Information will be automatically collected from other state registers, which will save time for both CCC employees and the conscripts themselves," the military registration and enlistment office reported.
Also, "young people aged 16 to 25 who apply for a passport will automatically be entered into the Oberig registry without the need to pass a military medical examination." This also applies to those living abroad.
The CCC clarifies that it will check the validity of the documents of the young men who left through the migration service.
