Quote from Chernohorenko: "[Russia] is disseminating apps designed to appear like Reserve+. The apps are disseminated in Ukraine to gather people’s personal data. We are aware of this and are working to ensure your security.

Please be careful and check the websites you visit. There is only one official Reserve+ website: reserveplus.mod.gov.ua.

Do not follow links that mimic the name reserveplus.mod.gov.ua and end in .top, .website, .org, and so on.

When you download the Reserve+ app, make sure the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine (MINISTERSTVO OBORONY UKRAINY) is listed as the developer
