UNIAN, photo pixabay.com, screenshotIn Ukraine, the scale of the problem of voluntary leaving from service (SCSH) remains significant: it is about 400 thousand cases. The key problem is that the state is fighting consequences, not the causes that push servicemen to take this step.
Igor Lutsenko, commander of the drone operator units, founder of the Center for Support of Aerial Reconnaissance, said this. Among such reasons, the soldier named difficulties in adapting recruits during training, conflicts with command, difficulty transferring between units, and issues with monetary provision.
"Most people run away at the training center stage, when freshly drafted and psychologically unprepared servicemen are being tried as infantrymen," he wrote.
At the same time, Lutsenko drew special attention to the problem of transfers, many of which occur due to conflicts. He noted that even with the consent of unit commanders, the procedure can last for months, although quick resolution of this issue could settle the conflict.
"The current transfer system is still a slow hell. Even when both commanders (the one granting the leave and the one accepting) agree, the system can still block the transfer for months," the serviceman provocatively stated.
Separately, Lutsenko raised the issue of payments to servicemen. He stated that the amount of monetary provision during the war has not been revised in line with inflation.
"Perhaps someone will be surprised, but soldiers need money because they have families. And the pennies they are paid now are a mockery that year after year becomes more painful and humiliating," Lutsenko said.
Problem of SCSH
In Ukraine 20 September, another term for the simplified procedure of return of servicemen from SCSH surfaced.
This is already the fourth deadline that the state sets for voluntary return of servicemen from SCSH under the simplified procedure.
Previous "windows" operated until 1 January, 1 March and 30 August 2025 of the year. After those terms, it remained possible to return to service, but already without favorable conditions.
