Among those people who updated their data on 18 May, one million and one hundred thousand people liable for military service are eligible for mobilisation.

This was stated by the spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, Senior Lieutenant Dmytro Lazutkin, ArmyInform reports.

"This is important information, because there are many reservists, many who are eligible for deferment. That is, one million and one hundred thousand people can be mobilised and, accordingly, join the Defence Forces," Lazutkin said.

He added that the Reserve+ app is popular among those liable for military service, conscripts and reservists, and about 2.3 million Ukrainians have already updated their data.

"It is clear that they will not be able to help those servicemen who are defending our country in the coming days, but in the long run it is very important because it is about improving military records. The country needs to know who it can count on for defence," the spokesman added.
