People’s Deputy of Ukraine Yuliya Yatsyk noted that the Parliament is working on the disbandment of the TRCs and SS. In their place, recruitment centers may appear, where civilians will work. After the disbandment of territorial recruitment and social support centers, TCC employees are likely to be sent to the front. The proposal of the deputies was responded to by the spokesperson of the Poltava Regional TRC, Roman Istomin.

According to him, it is impossible to form combat brigades from TRC employees.

"It is impossible to form brigades from TRC employees. Employees are civilians. They can only form construction brigades, so to speak. In the TRC, there are employees and servicemen. No brigade can be formed from the employees. No orders for disbandment have been received regarding the servicemen," he stated during a briefing, reports the publication "Zmist."

He also reported that conscripts mobilized after November 1 and sent to training centers will now undergo training not for 30, but for 45 days. The training program itself has also been updated.

The spokesperson points out that it is expected to be significantly higher quality training for both contract soldiers and conscripts.

"Every citizen of Ukraine, at least males, in the context of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, when Russia is waging a war of annihilation, and we, in turn, are waging a war for survival, must be ready to defend the homeland," said the spokesperson of the Poltava Regional TRC, Roman Istomin.
