In an interview with Reuters, Zelensky emphasized that this program is not part of forced mobilization, but rather a special recruitment initiative aimed at attracting young people aged 18-24.
What will this program offer?
Unlike traditional service, recruits will be offered a fixed one-year contract with the option to extend.
The government is also developing a range of benefits for those who join, including financial bonuses, career advancement opportunities, and other social perks.
Young recruits will receive high-quality training and support from experienced military personnel.

Additionally, in the interview, the head of state highlighted that this is not part of forced mobilization, but a voluntary contract service with significant benefits.
What benefits will recruits receive?
Participants will gain access to government loan programs for purchasing housing, making it easier for young servicemen to find accommodation.
Recruits will be offered free higher education or vocational training, allowing them to study during their service and continue their careers after military service.
The government is also preparing a competitive salary package along with additional financial incentives, ensuring stable income and economic security for recruits.

Main features of the program:
Voluntary one-year contract — flexible service conditions with the possibility of extension.
Modern training and equipment — access to cutting-edge military education.
Career development — military experience that opens doors to prestigious professions.
It is noted that the Ukrainian government is finalizing the details, and official announcements regarding application procedures and specific benefits are expected soon.
