This new “pick and choose” approach is being rolled out in parallel to Kyiv’s regular mobilisation. The defence ministry described it as a “new opportunity for units to be filled with professional and motivated people” but it declined to say how many men it has raised.

The ministry is also using headhunters to fill essential roles.
Lobby X, a non-profit recruitment agency, has processed 80,000 applications for 3,200 vacancies in 500 units. The roles include IT specialists, drone operators, medics, communication technicians, drivers and press officers, as well as regular infantry. It said it is now filling 1,000 army roles a month.
