“These are six thousand servicemen who have already been included in the lists of military units in the past month, that is, they are already in service,” Grinchuk said.
According to him, within 72 hours after the law on voluntary return to service for those who first left a military unit without permission or deserted came into force, about three thousand servicemen returned to service.
In addition, there are military personnel who are in the management bodies of the VSP, who were found and sent to undergo military training, as well as those with whom the investigative bodies carry out certain investigative actions – therefore “this figure is dynamic and tends to increase in connection with the adoption of relevant legislation .
At the same time, Grinchuk refused to name the exact number of military personnel in SOCH, calling such information “sensitive”.
The law enforcement service takes into account cases of emergency operations. This is a 15-minute notice from the commander, and then within 24 hours in writing by the VSP control body, in the area of operations such as this or. that the officer carried out the operation. Therefore, we carry out search measures. He might come back, but we’ve already taken that into account.
According to Grinchuk, a total of about 40-60% of military personnel who have committed SOC return to military service on their own. According to the new law, the return takes place to reserve battalions.
