Armed Forces officer Vadym Vasylchuk in an interview with "Ukrinform" shared his opinion about the problems of mobilization and the importance of honesty in the recruiting process to restore trust among potential volunteers.
According to Vadym Vasylchuk, one of the key factors for preserving the trust of citizens is an honest approach to mobilization. The officer noted that in the process of recruiting and distribution of conscripts, it is important to avoid situations when a person receives certain promises, but in fact they are offered something else - for example, they are sent to units that were not planned.
"If we lose the trust of citizens again, we will lose faith in the entire system," he emphasized. An honest conversation about the problems that exist in the mobilization process should become a priority for the military and civilians.
The officer also drew attention to the problem of corruption and impunity in the mobilization process, in particular, at the level of territorial recruitment centers (TCC). He pointed out that it is necessary to clearly define the legal consequences for violators and bring this to the attention of citizens.
"Without punishment for violations, we send a signal that it is not important, and this weakens the entire system," Vasylchuk said. According to him, the society should see the real results of the fight against corruption in order to restore trust in the military structures.
An important indicator of the attitude to mobilization is the low level of updating data among conscripts. According to Vadym Vasylchuk, less than half of the persons subject to mobilization have updated their data through available services.
"This clearly shows society's attitude to mobilization and the need to participate in this process," he concluded.
