Defence Ministry of Ukraine says those mobilised are not sent to front line without training
Hanna Maliar, Deputy Defence Minister of Ukraine, says that those mobilised are not sent to the front line without proper training, and the issue of sending subpoenas through Diia [a mobile app, a web portal and a brand of e-governance in Ukraine] is not even discussed.

Details: The deputy minister said that Russian propaganda uses fakes and myths to discredit the mobilisation campaign in Ukraine.
‘Currently, subpoenas are not issued via Diia. And this issue is not being worked out,’ she stressed.
Maliar also noted that Ukraine does not mobilise women without their consent, even doctors. A woman who is liable for military service can receive a summons only to clarify the data. According to the law, they are obliged to do this every five years.
Quote from Maliar: "Another Russian narrative is that those mobilized are immediately sent to Bakhmut without training.
In fact, conscripts who have not served in the military are sent to training centres. Due to the large-scale war, the training of ordinary and non-commissioned officers takes place in a shorter time frame, but without reducing the quality of training.
If you are sent to the front line without weapon skills and training, you should report it to the hotline. In order to quickly understand [the message] and take measures, you need to mention the name and surname of the mobilised person and the number of the military unit which they were sent to, and which territorial centre of procurement and social support sent them. Ministry of Defence hotline numbers are 0-800-500-410, 0-800-500-442 and 044-454-44-99".
Background: A Ukrainian soldier from the city of Ternopil was killed on the front line less than a month after receiving the summons. The Territorial Recruitment Centre conducts a background check to determine those responsible for preparation and training of personnel.
