In one of Ukraine’s military units, a mass violation has been identified: around 2,000 people who are likely unfit for service due to health reasons ended up there.

This was reported in an interview with RBC-Ukraine by Military Ombudsman Olha Reshetylova.

**2,000 unfit individuals in a military unit: what happened**

A large-scale inspection is underway in one of the military units due to the mass arrival of mobilized personnel who, according to preliminary data, are unfit for service. This situation concerns about 2,000 people, Reshetylova noted.

Due to the complexity of the situation, representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the command of the Ground Forces have been involved in the process to determine at which stage the systemic failure occurred.

“It is necessary to fully examine how this happened and at what stage this mass violation occurred. Whether it was at the stage of the TCC, the MMC, or already at the military unit, or whether the decision was made somewhere higher up,” she explained.

The Military Ombudsman emphasized that this case cannot simply be recorded as a fact, since it involves the mobilization of two thousand people unfit for service.

“The question is how this became possible in principle,” she added.

More details about this case in the military unit, other complaints from servicemen, salaries for defenders, the most common reasons for AWOL, and when to expect clear service terms will be available in the full interview with Military Ombudsman Olha Reshetylova on RBC-Ukraine on Monday, April 6.

It should be recalled that the Military Ombudsman has the authority to initiate inspections, and their decisions are mandatory for execution, with the main task being to respond to complaints from servicemen.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy appointed Olha Reshetylova as Military Ombudsman in December 2024.
