According to him, he would like this figure to be higher, because there were "extremely many" applications.
We are still studying, researching the reasons that influenced the fact that a person agreed in words, but did not reach the signing. Somewhere parents influence, somewhere they thought: "There will be peace-friendship-tomatoes soon, no need", there are different reasons. We are analyzing these issues to draw conclusions and, where necessary, to refine something
He stressed that it is too early to assess the success of the "Contract 18-24" program, and it will take about 4 months to draw the first conclusions.
Recall
The Cabinet of Ministers extended the "Contract 18-24" program to the National Guard of Ukraine and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. In addition, the procedure for medical examination by citizens of Ukraine, in particular, a psychiatrist, has been simplified.
