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.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.
The 157th Separate Mechanized Brigade has received another batch of supplies as part of Rinat Akhmetov’s Steel Front military initiative. This time, the military received seven quad bikes and four mobile shower and bath units.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
