Currently, there are 42 recruitment centers across the country. They do not issue military summons, and all consultations are conducted confidentially.

As reported by Ukrinform, since October 1, citizens who wish to volunteer for service can now independently select a military unit or division without the Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers involvement.
