It has been decided to expand the Contract 18-24 program to all combat units of the Defense Forces. This was reported to by Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Pavlo Palisa.

Initially, only a few brigades could be selected, but later the experiment was expanded, and now it has been decided to include all combat units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the program.
"Now anyone who wants to defend Ukraine at this age can choose any brigade," Palisa added.
He emphasized that all brigades will be able to recruit motivated young people.
