Another MP supported the idea of sending recruitment officers to the front. The Ministry of Defense responded

In territorial recruitment centers, it is possible to conduct inspections and send healthy military personnel to fight.

This statement was made by Member of Parliament Viktoriya Hryb (non-affiliated).

“If veterans who have been wounded and have the status of combatants are indeed serving there, then this is justified. But if healthy people are working there, then why are they not on the front line? I have these questions, and I am convinced that society is asking them as well,” the MP said.

The Ministry of Defense responded to the deputies’ proposal to disband the territorial recruitment centers.

Ministry spokesperson Dmytro Lazutkin stated that there are 36,000 people working in recruitment offices, among whom there are fit military personnel.

“There are currently 36,000 people working in territorial recruitment centers, of which almost 7,000 are civilians. Among the military personnel, there are a significant number of those who are fit for service with certain limitations. There are about 3,000 women,” Lazutkin reported.

It should be noted that the “limited fitness” status was abolished back in April. Apparently, this refers to those fit for rear service.

According to Lazutkin, there are 26,000 male military personnel working in territorial recruitment centers, with an unspecified number fit for active service.

It should be recalled that MP Yuriy Kamelchuk stated that the territorial recruitment centers need to be disbanded due to “inhumane treatment” of Ukrainians.

According to him, military commissars’ actions disrupt mobilization because most people are hiding from them, and those who end up in military units often desert. Later, he added that too many people are employed in territorial recruitment centers and that 99% of their work could be automated.

Subsequently, a temporary commission of the Verkhovna Rada issued a similar call. Instead of the current recruitment centers, they propose creating more recruiting centers and sending former military commissars to the front line.

However, territorial recruitment centers stated that it is impossible to form military brigades solely from their staff.
