Soldiers to apply for military transfers through Army+ app – Umerov
Source: Ukraine’s defense ministry
Ukraine’s servicemen and servicewoman are allowed to request military transfers through “Army+” application starting November 15.
According to Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, the process will take about 15 minutes. To apply, service members need:
- A military ID or officer’s certificate.
- A recommendation letter from the unit they wish to transfer to.
- For health-related transfers, a military medical commission certificate is required.
Commanders’ approval is not necessary, as the request automatically goes to the Armed Forces Personnel Center for review within 72 hours.
In specific cases, the Personnel Center may consult unit commanders, particularly for transfers between combat and rear brigades.
If the request is denied, the app will specify the reasons, such as:
- Serving in the current unit for less than six months.
- Less than a year has passed since the previous transfer.
All rejection criteria are defined under Ukraine’s government resolution No. 1291.
On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
