KYIV: Ukraine's defence ministry urged military-age citizens to update their data at army enlistment offices and"overcome their fear" in a campaign launched on Thursday as a summer counter-offensive grinds through its third month.
"We're all living people and we all overcome this fear in order to win," she said, noting that military-age citizens are duty-bound to keep their personal data at draft offices up-to-date. As she outlined the campaign, Maliar was careful to say that not all those who updated their personal data would automatically be mobilised into the army and that not all those who are mobilised would end up in a combat zone.
"Bravery conquers fear," ran one of the campaign's slogans."Everyone has fears in a war. I do too," a Ukrainian soldier who fought in Bakhmut was quoted as saying."Trust between citizens and is important," Maliar added in comments carried by an official military platform."Right now we're taking a step toward establishing this trust.
