Why was the electronic registry introduced and what will change for Ukrainians?

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine notes that the adoption of this law is critically important for the country, as electronic military registration "unlocks the digitalization of the Ukrainian army and will allow it to act more mobile and efficiently both on the battlefield and in the rear."

In addition, the Defense Ministry explained that the adoption of the law will allow:

– release air defense assets that currently protect national data centers from missile attacks;

– accelerate and expand the access of the Ukrainian Defense Forces to allied intelligence;

– accelerate the development and deployment of new combat systems and electronic services for the army;

– strengthen data protection against cyberattacks;

– to realize the possibility of providing online services to the military;

– create a common portal of electronic services for military personnel and persons liable for military service.

The main goal of the new law is to digitalize the army and expand opportunities to provide online services to military personnel. Therefore, it is expected that Ukrainian soldiers will be able to receive a number of public services in an electronic format, in particular, the Ministry of Defense emphasized that one of these procedures is obtaining the status of a combatant.
