Ukraine’s Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko has announced that 90% of the personnel of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and the National Police of Ukraine have been booked.
“10% of the SES employees have a choice to be mobilized to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard or the State Border Guard Service. 10% of police officers who are subject to mobilization can join the “Rage” brigade or the three additional combat brigades of the National Police of Ukraine,” Klymenko wrote on Telegram on Friday.
He also noted that according to a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the number of conscripted employees of the State Emergency Service and the National Police who are subject to reservation may exceed 50% by a separate decision of the Minister of Defense, made on the basis of a substantiated request from the Minister of the Interior. In this regard, an agreed decision was made to reserve 90% of the personnel of the SES and the National Police.
“As for the rescuers, our position is that the employees of the rapid response units (firefighters, sappers, rescuers, chemists, engineers, etc.) should be booked in full.
This decision will not affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the SES,” Klymenko said.
