MOBILIZATION

a set of state measures to bring into an active state, concentrate and strain existing resources, forces and means to achieve military-political goals. This finds practical expression in the translation into martial law of the armed forces, economy and state institutions of the country (general M.) or any part of them (partial M.). Can be done openly or in a hidden way. Announcement M. is the competence of the head of state (president) and the highest bodies of state power. IN modern conditions M. is preceded by advance mobilization preparation. The main content of M. consists of M. VS and M. economics. The mobilization of the Armed Forces consists of the systematic transfer of troops and naval forces to the organization and composition of wartime. At the same time, the number of armed forces is increasing due to the military conscription of citizens in reserve, troops are being mobilized, and new military formations are being deployed and combat coordinated. Factors for the successful conduct of military operations: the availability of trained human resources, the accumulation of the necessary stocks of weapons, military equipment and other material assets, established military registration, notification and collection of enlisted personnel and mobilized Vehicle. Economic mobilization constitutes the bulk of the country's overall economic development in order to develop mass production weapons, military equipment, ammunition, uniforms, equipment and other material resources for the comprehensive provision of the armed forces, state activities and the needs of the population during the war. Includes: Deployment industrial production, restructuring the work of organs and means of communication, Agriculture, transport, redistribution of human resources, etc.

Mobilization

Mobilization (M, mobilization deployment)(fr. mobilization, from mobilizer- set in motion) - a set of measures aimed at bringing the armed forces (AF) and state infrastructure to a martial law in connection with emergency circumstances in the country or in the world. For the first time, the word “mobilization” was used to describe the activities carried out by Prussia in 1850 - 1860. The theory and methods of mobilization have developed continuously since then.

Mobilization can be general, carried out on a statewide scale with the aim of bringing armed forces to full combat readiness and transfer of the industry and infrastructure of the state to martial law, and private, which can be carried out both on a separate territory and with the aim of increasing the combat readiness of the Armed Forces or its individual associations and formations.

After 1917

By the beginning of the Second World War, mobilization began to be carried out secretly in order to gain an advantage over the enemy before he could mobilize his armed forces.

The place of mobilization in preparation for war

Mobilization is integral part Strategic deployment which includes:

  1. transfer of armed forces from a peaceful position to a military one (mobilization itself);
  2. operational deployment of troops (forces) in theaters of military operations;
  3. strategic regroupings of troops (forces) from the interior of the country to theaters of military operations and between them;
  4. deployment of priority strategic reserves.

The main purpose of the Strategic Deployment is the transfer of armed forces from a peaceful position to a military one (with mobilization), the creation of armed forces groupings in theaters of military operations and in the depths of the country for an organized entry into the war, repelling enemy aggression and successfully conducting the first strategic operations initial period war.

Often strategic deployment confused with operational deployment, which is also an integral part of strategic deployment and is carried out to create and build groupings of troops (forces) in theaters of military operations to repel aggression and conduct the first operations. Main activities carried out within the framework operational deployment:

  1. strengthening intelligence, forces and means of combat duty and combat service;
  2. occupation of lines, positions and designated areas by troops and covering forces, air defense forces and means, artillery, and navy participating in fire strikes;
  3. relocation of aviation to operational airfields;
  4. deployment of the rear of fronts, fleets, armies, corps, as well as forces and technical support;
  5. occupation of defense zones (access to operational areas) by troops of the fronts, individual armies, corps of the first operational echelon;
  6. advancement and occupation of concentration areas (defense zones) by troops of the fronts of the second operational echelon, reserve;
  7. creation of territorial defense within the appropriate boundaries.

Mobilization consists of:

  1. in staffing the army, air force and navy to full wartime strength;
  2. in replenishing troops with military equipment;
  3. in replenishing the material part, that is, uniforms, weapons and equipment;
  4. in the formation of new units of troops, departments and institutions necessary for the duration of the war
  5. in replenishing troops with equipment and other means of transportation.

For mobilization, it is necessary to always have in the reserve of the armed forces such a number of officers and privates that would be equal to the difference between the states in peacetime and wartime. In places where mobilization is taking place, it is necessary to have in constant readiness reserves of materiel and military equipment for manning units. The first is achieved by organizing a mobilization reserve of the armed forces, the second by organizing emergency reserves and creating reserves of equipment. Final goal mobilization - from the very beginning of the war, to gain an advantage over the enemy in the combat readiness of troops (forces). Hence its main condition is speed: all mobilization deployment plans must be drawn up so that the armed forces have the opportunity to deploy in the shortest possible time. Mobilization activities are carried out in an atmosphere of high secrecy, since they largely determine the operational plans for the initial period of the war. The basis for all mobilization activities are calculations, periodically checked and renewed and compiled into systematic mobilization plans, also periodically updated. The distribution and sequence of mobilization actions are set out in special instructions, where the entire course of mobilization of each unit is precisely indicated by day. All sorts of things responsible person must be fully aware of his responsibilities in the event of mobilization and, upon receipt of the corresponding orders, immediately begin to fulfill them, without asking for instructions or explanations.

The example of a carefully and comprehensively prepared and successfully executed mobilization was given by Prussia in the years. Mobilization can be general or specific, that is, it does not concern the entire territory of the state and not all armed forces. In order to actually check mobilization readiness, trial and verification mobilization is sometimes carried out.

Permanent mobilization

Unlike mobilization, which is carried out before the start of the war and, in some cases, is the reason for it, Permanent mobilization is carried out during the entire war, or part of it. An important resource for this mobilization is the contingent of civilians, who, due to the natural course of time, reach military age.

In the Russian Federation there is still universal conscription. Those. in case of hostilities, can everyone be called up without the right to refuse? But part of the population does not support the PKK.

Yes, but let's start with the fact that the defense of the country is not only protection from attackers, but also all sorts of measures that are taken to prevent such an attack. In peacetime, events are constantly held that are prepared in advance.

A) defense of the state from armed attack;
b) meeting the needs of the state and the needs of the population in wartime.

This is called mobilization preparation.

At the same time, mobilization preparation should not be confused with mobilization. Those. everything we did in peacetime was preparation, but when things got hot, we are taking measures to transfer everything possible to the organization and composition of wartime. This is mobilization.

During the existence of the Russian Federation, new groups have appeared among men: draft dodgers and those who cannot serve the Motherland due to the complexity of their beliefs.

Let's look at the situation in detail. In relation to the country's defense capability, the entire male population can be divided (as I see it) into several groups:

Children
- conscripts
- military personnel
- stock
- retirees
- draft dodgers


The backbone of the Armed Forces in peacetime is made up of military personnel. Conscripts (serving under conscription) and contract soldiers (serving under contract).

The initial registration for military service begins at the age of 17. Until this age, a child must prepare: play sports, develop patriotism, etc. Then they “count” him and wait for him to come of age.

From 18 to 27 years of age, a young man is considered a conscript. In the event that he is or should be registered with the military, but is not yet in the reserves. Accordingly, the legislation provides for some categories that are not called up, and also provides for deferments. In all other cases, if the conscript did not come to the military registration and enlistment office when the deadline came, then Article 328 of the Criminal Code applies.

After service (both conscription and contract), the serviceman is transferred to the reserve, except for those expelled from higher educational institutions and those who have reached the age limit. The age limit for being in the reserve is determined by position, rank, etc. Those who have reached this age resign and are (theoretically) not involved in active hostilities.

Accordingly, the following categories of citizens fall into the reserve:

- “boots”, i.e. conscripts who have completed service;
- contract soldiers discharged from military service and enlisted in the reserves;
- “jackets”, i.e. graduates of civilian universities with a military department;
- those who were exempt from conscription;
- those who had deferments;
- those who “ran” until they were 27 years old;
- alternativeists;
- women who have a military specialty;
- dismissed from military service without military registration and subsequently registered with military commissariats (this, for example, in the case of a criminal record or foreign citizens).

Those. We have EVERYTHING in stock, with rare exceptions. A citizen who is in the reserve will undergo a medical examination at certain points in order to understand whether anything has changed in his health that makes him unfit for duty. military service.

What did the authors of this hotel and tourism promotion do? They put together a selection for many tastes and put it on the only landing page that was massively promoted with heavy links. A searching target client will find on this page, or rather, will probably find, only a suitable travel option for him. And it is very effective for conversion.

The fact is that health analysis is a complicated thing. A significant number of citizens of the Russian Federation of military age consider themselves carriers of queer philosophy. Let's imagine two real situations:

A) A certain Miloslav Tarakanov realized his complex gender identity, paid for the operation and hormonal course, and now lives with female gender characteristics. But according to the passport it’s still the same.

B) A certain Slava Revyakina felt a completely masculine gender in herself. She recognizes herself as a man. Then she underwent hormonal therapy and maybe surgery. And he wants to serve in the ranks of the Russian troops.

Let's start with Revyakina, as with a simpler situation. Let's assume that there was no operation, then Slava simply goes to the nearest military registration and enlistment office and says that he madly wants to serve. As an ordinary citizen (including a foreign one), who has a similar desire. The military registration and enlistment office will conduct medical and professional-psychological examinations, on the basis of which a decision will be made as to whether Ms. Revyakina is fit for military service. There are four options for suitability, and if you do not fall into the fourth category, then they take you to probation. But this is already the theory of contract service.

Now, if there was an operation, and male gender is now confirmed by primary sexual characteristics. Of course, I haven’t encountered this yet, but it seems like when you change gender you have to get a new passport. Although the law does not provide for a change of passport when changing gender. Only with significant changes in appearance. In any case, attitudes towards mobilization activities depend on documented gender. If you are a man according to your passport, then you are automatically included in the lists of those liable for military service or reserves. And all laws apply to you as for people who are male from birth.

Now Tarakanov. I doubt that with such a complex composition life situation he (she, it) do not go to the passport office and become Miloslava. Somehow it’s not logical. Again, we live in Russia, and if he does not have a woman’s passport, then according to all mobilization lists, he remains a man to whom all rules and obligations apply. Those. if mobilization, then Tarakanov will be called to the military registration and enlistment office for examinations and other suitability, and instead of him a blonde with the third number will come, then the commission will immediately reject such a character. At a minimum, due to psychological unsuitability, I think.

Yes. Now we are closer to understanding. Let's return to mobilization?

Let's. Mobilization has been announced in the country. From this moment on, citizens registered with the military are prohibited from leaving their place of residence without permission from the military commissariats. Those. we sit and wait.

Citizens who are in the reserves and are not entitled to a deferment from conscription for military service upon mobilization are subject to conscription for military service upon mobilization (there are also such deferments). Because There are more reservists than the required number of military personnel, then some of them may be sent to work in civilian positions.

When mobilization is announced, military personnel continue to serve; only women with children under 16 years of age are allowed to go home.

Citizens who have an unexpunged or unexpunged conviction for committing a serious crime are not subject to conscription for military service upon mobilization.

A deferment from conscription for military service upon mobilization is provided to citizens:

Reserved citizens (this is when government agencies reserved a person to work with them during the war);
- recognized as temporarily unfit for military service due to health reasons - for a period of up to six months;
- who cares for father, mother, wife, husband, brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother, adoptive parent (must be in prison or I disability group), as well as family members under 16 years of age, in the absence of others persons who must support them;
- who has 4 or more dependent children (female citizens - one child);
- whose mother, in addition to them, has 4 or more children under eight years old, and does not have a husband;
- and, naturally, members of the Federation Council and deputies of the State Duma.

(Isn’t this decree out of date?).
The provision on a promissory note has been in effect since 1937 and nothing... And this is only 2002.

Judging by the opposition march “March of Peace”, etc. Among the citizens of the Russian Federation there is a significant group of citizens who are not morally ready for conscription. Many of them also have dual second or even multiple citizenship. What will happen to them? Concentration camps? Expulsion? Fine battalions?

As the Constitution says, the presence of a citizen of the Russian Federation as a citizen of a foreign state does not exempt him from the obligations arising from Russian citizenship. They will call everyone, and the military registration and enlistment office will determine who and what to do next. This is not only about multi-citizens, but in general about everyone who should be called up for mobilization. If someone, as you say, is not morally ready to be drafted (which is beyond my understanding), then the obligation to appear at the military registration and enlistment office is enshrined in the law “On mobilization preparation.” If you don't show up, you're breaking the law. If you break it, you must be punished. For those interested, the punishment for any failure to fulfill military registration obligations is a warning or a fine of 100 to 500 rubles.

In other words, camps, deportation and other penal battalions are wishful thinking.

I still don’t understand what to do with this paragraph. Doesn't fit into the text.

If, God forbid, mobilization, then all the conscription things that some people left in the past will be resumed again. With some restrictions. Mentioned above.

Also exempt:

Reserved (see above) citizens;
- employees of internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, institutions and bodies of the penal system, bodies for control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances and customs authorities of the Russian Federation;
- civilian personnel of the Armed Forces and bodies from the previous paragraph;
- servicing aircraft (helicopters), airfield equipment, rolling stock and railway transport devices;
- floating composition of the sea and river fleets - during the navigation period;
- those who are engaged in sowing and harvesting work - during the period of such work;
- teachers;
- full-time or part-time students in educational organizations;
- correspondence students, only for the period of passing intermediate and final certification, preparing a thesis;
- citizens discharged from military service - within two years from the date of transfer to the reserve;
- who has 3 or more minor children;
- who has a deferment from conscription for military service;
- citizens staying outside the Russian Federation;
- and where without: members of the Federation Council Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, senior officials of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation
- alternativeists.

I remember that in May 2013, RBC wrote that deputies were going to restore women’s rights to military service (http://top.rbc.ru/society/28/05/2013/859409.shtml). What's going on today?

Now the law clearly states that male citizens are subject to conscription. And according to my information, there is currently no bill that would change this situation. Women are not taken to the training camp. And women who are not in the reserves are eligible for contract service.

In addition, any citizen pursuing a career or business may suffer significant damage to his affairs in the event of a “preventative” call for military training.

From two months every three years, what can suffer? In addition, everyone can be called to training camps for no more than 12 months. Of my friends, only one was taken to the training camp, he was so happy, there was nothing terrible there...

Thanks for the facts.

ZY It is known that Orthodox church rules do not allow murderers of any kind into the clergy. I believe this means that the priests of the Russian Orthodox Church will not be able to participate in hostilities with weapons in their hands. Those. The Russian Orthodox Church will begin to demand special statuses in the army for its priests.

Our state is secular. And initially you are a citizen, with all responsibilities and rights, and only then a church employee. And I think that demands for status in peacetime and the mobilization of priests are two different things. In addition, I have already mentioned four categories of fitness, of which only the fourth completely excludes service. There are many reserves, no one will give everyone the first category. We need to leave someone for the second wave. And on the third))

Is there a list of religious organizations whose representatives will take on the role of inspiration on the battlefield in case of war?

I have not come across such lists and a quick search for information did not yield anything. I doubt it's that open. But something tells me that many will be at the head with banners. All our wars are Holy.

Thank you again for the informative conversation. I hope there will be more).

ZYThe illustration for the text was a photograph of the works

When the country becomes restless or there is a threat of war, the state begins to mobilize the population and organizations within the country. The word “mobilization” itself appeared in the language relatively recently.

Let's take a closer look at what mobilization is, what its purpose is, and what types of mobilization exist.

The history of the term “mobilization”

The word "mobilization" in French means "to set in motion." The word itself was first used in 1850-1860 to describe the actions and activities that were carried out by Prussia during this period.

Mobilization is a set of measures and activities to bring troops and organizations within a state into a martial law when a threat arises within the country or from outside. The mobilization plan is always approved by the General Staff. This is very important document, which describes all mobilization measures and activities in the country.

Every year the mobilization process is improved, and new methods and measures are introduced that help speed up the process and make it better. Mobilization has repeatedly saved many countries from collapse in war, because when an enemy army invades a country, the troops of the defending country are already ready to attack thanks to mobilization.

Over time, the mobilization of troops in a potentially enemy country began to be considered the beginning of a potential war. Therefore, subsequently, many countries learned to mobilize secretly so that the enemy could not detect it.

Purpose and types of mobilization

The purpose of any mobilization is to prepare troops for a possible threat to the country. As a result

  1. Troops are transferred from a peaceful situation to a military one.
  2. They carry out the operational deployment of forces in the conflict region.
  3. Regrouping of troops as necessary from peaceful zones to the conflict region.
  4. Deployment of reserves.

Mobilization should prepare the army to repel military aggression from a potential or obvious enemy in the region. This allows you to enter the war organizationally and even allows you to tip the scales in your favor during the war. Any enemy country always evaluates the enemy’s mobilization seriously and even tries to prevent it with all its might.

Mobilization consists of

  • Providing troops with equipment, uniforms, food and necessary things;
  • Formation of new units, formations and units in the internal structure of the troops;
  • Recruitment of troops with personnel.

Mobilization can also be divided into two types

  • General, when mobilization occurs throughout the country and affects all organizations, industries and structures, placing them in a martial law situation;
  • Private, when mobilization is carried out only in the territory of a certain region or in a certain type of troops to increase combat readiness and discipline within the region and troops. Such mobilization is often educational in nature.

Just a couple of months ago, the word “mobilization” was associated with the definition of “gathering one’s strength to solve some life problems.” Today, during military operations in the eastern regions of Ukraine, given word is increasingly perceived as “conscription into the army.” What is the partial mobilization announced in Ukraine? Who will have to remember again how to hold a weapon and live in the barracks? Will eighteen-year-old boys be conscripted and sent to war zones? Let's try to figure it out.

The concept of mobilizing the armed forces of a state

The mobilization of troops, announced in March 2014 by the interim government of Ukraine, alarmed not only wives and mothers. Our idea of ​​this is based on films about the Second World War, in which all those mobilized were sent to the front. And it doesn’t matter whether you know how to hold a weapon in your hands or not.

What is mobilization in modern conditions? First of all, this is the transfer of the entire country's economy to the mode of meeting the needs of the military-industrial complex (military-industrial complex). That is, there is a redistribution of the state budget in favor of spending on the needs of the military. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine voted to change the structure of the state budget of Ukraine and allocated almost seven billion hryvnia for the initial needs of the military. Part of these funds should be used to organize the training of mobilized people.

In addition, a number of industries are beginning to produce goods necessary during hostilities. And most importantly: citizens liable for military service become “under arms.”

Possible options

The law on mobilization distinguishes between two concepts: partial and complete mobilization of the population. Complete involves a widespread reorientation of all industries to the production of goods and services necessary during active hostilities. In addition, in such a situation, all men and women liable for military service are drafted into the ranks of the country's armed forces, without any exceptions. Those people who are not liable for military service are called up as needed. But that's it civilian population ends up working for the military-industrial complex.

What is partial temporary filling of vacant positions in the armed forces with conscripts from among civilians, but men liable for military service? Moreover, this selection additional funds from the state budget for the maintenance of newly arrived military personnel and primary military needs.

Summon Features

Partial mobilization is announced by the president of the state (in the case of Ukraine in 2014, when the country did not have an active president, the decree on mobilization was signed. This process is supposed to take place in four stages.

Who is subject to mobilization at the first stage? At the very beginning, there was talk of replenishing the Ukrainian army with volunteers who applied to the military registration and enlistment offices. When military units, after the arrival of fresh forces, still remained understaffed, military registration and enlistment offices compiled lists of those liable for military service who had previously undergone military training, i.e., from conscripts of previous years.

Of course, not everyone is called up. The emphasis is on the military specialization of potential recruits. What partial mobilization is can be judged by the practice of its implementation in Ukraine. Starting from mid-March 2014, military personnel of the following specialties were drafted into the ranks of the Ukrainian army for 45 days: missilemen, signalmen and infantrymen. Candidates were mainly selected from former military personnel and those who served in military service in the 90s.

Subsequent stages

The mobilization of troops in Ukraine may move to the second stage. In May 2014, officers and sergeants under the age of forty-five, forty-year-old privates and officers received orders to report to the muster sites. senior management who have not exceeded sixty years of age.

During the third stage, the mobilization of the army involves the replenishment of units with conscripts and women liable for military service. doctors and various technical specialists.

In the final stage (in the event of protracted hostilities throughout the country), all residents of the state, without exception, capable of holding weapons or being useful in the rear and on the front line, are called up to replenish the armed forces.

Recruit age

The mobilization of troops in Ukraine, announced in March 2014, involves the conscription of volunteers and conscripts who are under 40-45 years of age. The forty-year mark is set for privates of all branches of the military, and the forty-five-year limit is set for reserve officers and sergeants in popular specialties.

The state leadership separately emphasized that the age of those mobilized in the first wave was thirty to forty years. Eighteen-year-old recruits will not only not be conscripted, but even if they voluntarily enlist in the service, they will not be sent to the most dangerous places. Nevertheless, by decree of the acting President of Ukraine in May 2014, the mandatory conscription of young men into the army was resumed.

How to explain to your boss at work the reason for your long absence

In the current situation, managers at all levels of enterprises of all forms of ownership must understand what partial mobilization is. According to Ukrainian legislation, those mobilized into the ranks of the armed forces are unconditionally assigned their workplace(position) with retention for him wages. The company cannot fire or even temporarily hire a new employee in his place. However, in practice, these legal norms are observed only in government institutions. Commercial structures cannot afford to pay for such a long absence of an employee. Therefore, in most cases, the mobilized person is replaced by new person. Thus, after the announcement of demobilization, many men may be left without work and without a means of livelihood. Looking back at the age of mobilization, we can safely say that the families of those called upon to fill the army will find themselves in difficult conditions.

Who is exempt from conscription?

Of course, there is a list of persons who are not subject to mobilization:

  • Men who are raising more than five children.
  • Women who raise children under sixteen years of age.
  • Persons of both sexes who care for the sick and infirm and for whom there is no one to delegate care to.
  • Persons liable for military service whose state of health is declared unfit for military service for a period of six months.
  • Persons liable for military service included in the reservation of government agencies.
  • People's Deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

A representative of any of these categories who volunteers to join the armed forces may be enlisted in a military unit.

Fines and punishments

After explaining what partial mobilization is, it should be noted that there is a system of penalties for failure to comply with the orders of the military registration and enlistment offices. Let's take a closer look at violations and fines. Formally, we can only talk about one crime: evading mobilization. All other violations associated with reluctance to serve in the military forces of the state are derivatives of evasion. The Criminal Code of Ukraine stipulates liability for evading mobilization (Article 336): imprisonment for a term of two to five years. Other offenses are punishable by administrative liability and fines. For failure to appear on a mobilization summons, the fine is 85-119 hryvnia; for intentional damage (loss, disappearance) or registration certificate - 17-51 hryvnia; for other violations of the legislation on mobilization - 17-51 hryvnia.

Is it possible to leave

Mobilization in Russia, as well as in Ukraine, implies that all citizens of the state liable for military service will not change their place of residence or evade conscription. Is it true, we're talking about only about those who have already received the summons; all the rest, as they say, are clean before the law and are free to move as they please.

All selected candidates must report at the prescribed time at the meeting place, which is also specified in the summons sent by mail or personally delivered. It should be noted that the order to appear at the gathering place for each mobilized person is sent in writing. We are not talking about any telephone or other verbal notifications. It is illegal.

Where do the mobilized go?

Of course, as soon as we hear the word “mobilization,” we immediately imagine the front line and practically untrained “newbies.” There is no such. After distribution, according to data on military specialties, all recruits go to training camps.

Most often they are equipped on the basis of military units. It is expected that during the training camp, lost communication skills with weapons will be resumed and familiarization with technical innovations will take place. After the training camp, some of the mobilized actually end up in the “hottest” spots. Initially, it is assumed that “former civilians” inexperienced in military operations will be used only in auxiliary work, but how the situation actually develops is still unclear.

Right or obligation

We distinguish between the concepts of rights and obligations in all spheres: everyday, professional, sociological, political, and so on. The military side of our life is no exception. Mobilization in Russia, just like in all other states where there is an appropriate the legislative framework and the prerequisites for the development of relations with neighboring states, which determine the possibility of entering into a war, provide for the right of citizens to voluntarily replenish the armed forces. At the same time, coming to the place of assembly and being mobilized is a constitutional duty of citizens. As already noted, violation of the law is punishable not only by administrative liability, but also in some cases by criminal liability.

Initially, mobilization is announced for 45 days. At the end of this period, a presidential decree is signed on demobilization, or, conversely, on extending it for another 45 days. In principle, the number of such extensions is not specified anywhere, so we can safely say that mobilization can be indefinite. In any case, it ends after the president signs the decree on demobilization.

According to experts, in the mid-90s the number reached 700 thousand people. Taking into account age restrictions and demographic processes in the country, it is assumed that through mobilization it is possible to replenish the army with almost 400 thousand people.

With partial mobilization, conscription into the army can be announced only in certain regions of the country. True, by decree of May 6, 2014, the acting President of Ukraine covered the entire country, all 24 regions. Therefore, all that remains is to monitor developments.
