▪️Smart mobilization will be launched in Ukraine. Conscripts will be able to independently choose the specialization in which they want to serve, said Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov.

They plan to launch a pilot project in the first specialty - drone operator - in a month or two, and later training for the positions of sapper and driver will appear.
