Details: Pavliuk said that the task forces of the Ministry of Defence established to inspect military enlistment offices were working in the regions. He stated that the experience of service, reputation, information in the public space and citizens' appeals are analysed.

In total, more than 2,300 appeals have been received from citizens. This covers the entire spectrum of issues when interacting with military enlistment offices: from corruption to organisational problems. Pavliuk confirmed that each appeal is processed individually.

Quote: "The law enforcement agencies are continuing to inspect the management of military enlistment offices and military law enforcement services (SVP). The National Agency on Corruption Prevention has formed a database that includes all the heads and deputy heads of the military enlistment offices to be checked. Lifestyle monitoring has already begun for 102 people.

The State Bureau of Investigation is working actively. Since the beginning of the [full-scale – ed.] war, it has been investigating 106 criminal proceedings regarding violations during the work of the military enlistment offices and SVPs, as well as military medical commissions. 21 people have been served with notice of suspicion. Eight indictments against 16 people have been sent to court."
