To prove that she hadn't been registered, the woman was advised by the TCC to register
In "Reserve+" she found herself listed as a "soldier": a philologist received someone else's military service record
About this story on March 19, 2026 reported Suspilne Kyiv. At the center of the case is a Kyiv resident, Iryna Kharasidi-Loginova, who works as a head of HR in one of the companies. Last year, when she submitted reports to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine regarding employees liable for military service, she unexpectedly saw herself in the reporting data. Later the woman checked “Reserve+”, updated the information and confirmed: her records really appeared in the system, although, she claims, there was no basis for registering her for military service.
“The lawyer from the Obolon TCC who checked my data says: ‘We don’t have your data, we don’t see your file.’ I asked what the algorithm is—what should a person do in such cases? The lawyer said: ‘Well, you can register, and then we’ll deal with your case.’ So I have to register in order to prove that I wasn’t registered,” she shares.
According to Iryna Kharasidi-Loginova, the app pulled up a soldier status and a strange registration category that, in her opinion, had nothing to do with her actual education and profession. The woman says she is a philologist, does not have medical or pharmaceutical training, and therefore does not understand on what grounds her data ended up in the register of those liable for military service.
About six months later, the situation, she says, became even more alarming: she received a phone call from one of the district TCCs in Kharkiv, where she once studied at university, informing her that she was being sought for alleged evasion of mobilization. After that the woman checked the app again and saw that she was already listed as wanted. In addition, the system showed records of undergoing the military medical commission (VMC) as far back as 20 years ago.
After that the Kyiv resident began sending inquiries to the TCC in Kharkiv and contacted the territorial recruitment center at her registered address in Kyiv. In a reply from the Kharkiv district TCC, she was told that some documents had been lost during the hostilities in Kharkiv in the summer of 2022, so they could neither confirm nor refute the information in the register. At the same time, they refused to remove her from the military register at that center.
The Ministry of Defense explained that “Reserve+” only displays data from the state register of those liable for military service, and entries there come either from paper cards of the TCCs or from other state databases. The head of the Main Directorate of Information Technologies of the Ministry of Defense, Oleh Berestovyi, said that errors now rarely occur, but they could have happened during manual data entry when digitizing the cards. In such cases the ministry advises either to submit a request to correct the data online through “Reserve+” or to contact the TCC where the person is registered with documents to clarify the information in the register.
Lawyer Polina Marchenko believes that entering Iryna Kharasidi-Loginova‘s data into the register of those liable for military service is unfounded. In her view, violations could have been made at several stages — from the lack of actual delivery of a summons to ignoring the woman’s place of residence and registration. The lawyer recommends first submitting a written complaint to the district TCC demanding deletion of the data and removal from the register, then appealing to the higher recruitment center, and if that does not yield results — challenging the actions in court.
This week Iryna Kharasidi-Loginova was removed from the wanted list, but the fact of her being registered for military service was not recognized as unlawful. Therefore the woman, as Suspilne reports, plans to continue sending inquiries and complaints to seek full removal from the register. If the administrative route fails, she intends to go to court.
At the end of this story Iryna Kharasidi-Loginova admitted that for her this situation has long ceased to be just a bureaucratic mix-up and has turned into a matter of personal safety and reputation.
Lawyer Polina Marchenko emphasized that in similar cases one should not limit oneself to verbal requests, but should immediately record their demands in writing and demand an official response from the territorial recruitment center.
