Around 6,500 volunteers join Defense Forces every month – Ukraine’s MoD.
The average number of volunteers joining the Ukrainian Defense Forces every month is around 6,500.
Oleksii Bezhevets, who deals with recruiting issues in Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, said this on the national television, Ukrinform reports.
"During the last three to four months, the average number of volunteers who join Ukrainian Defense Forces is about 6,500 per month. This is a significant number of those who voluntarily apply either directly to military units or through recruiting centers or using online platforms, which became our partners a little less than a year ago. The dynamics is positive as more and more people are applying every month," said Bezhevets.
He added that the number of women applying to recruiting centers is 15-17% more than those who are currently serving in the Armed Forces. Also, there are generally more volunteers aged 30 to 50 than younger people.
