- Ukraine now lets AWOL troops pick from more than 70 units and roles and rejoin via a website or the Army+ app — though slots are limited and preferences aren’t guaranteed.
- The program skips the old military-police/reserve-battalion process and sends soldiers straight to their chosen unit, where they can’t be involuntarily moved for six months.
- It’s a push to retrieve tens of thousands of absentees (Ukraine has logged over 200,000 AWOL cases) with incentives including big pay boosts; troops must apply by Sept. 20.
