The spring draft campaign-2018 ended at the end of May. It was on this day that young men from twenty to twenty-seven years went to the training units.

Yuri Kalgushkin, military commissar of the Kharkov regional military registration and enlistment office:.

"The planned task, without reserve, for the Kharkov region was 1800 conscripts. The planned task was carried out on 100%. 51.5% of the draftees went to the training centers of the military units of the Armed Forces, and 48.5% went to other military formations. This is the National Guard of Ukraine, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and the State Special Transport Service ".

About 20,000 conscripts were summoned to the military commissariat. Of these, about eight thousand have not appeared, and another three and a half thousand have not been fit for military service for health reasons, notes the City Watch.

More than nine hundred conscripts are brought to administrative responsibility. For evading regular service, criminal proceedings were initiated in 18 cases. According to the current legislation of Ukraine, a criminal case can be initiated only if the "recruit" arrived in the military registration and enlistment office, agreed to pass a medical examination board, was found fit, but did not appear on the sending to the troops. If a young man refused to pass a medical examination, he does not face criminal responsibility, t. doctors do not have the right to examine a patient without his consent, and without the findings of the medical board the military registration and enlistment office can not call a young man into the army.
