Russian propaganda Telegram channels are spreading claims that Ukrainians who fail to update their information on the Reserve+ system in time will supposedly receive a 50% discount on fines if they “don’t sue the employees of Military Recruitment And Social Support Centers”. Propagandists suggest that this bill strips Ukrainians of their ability to defend their rights in court against potential violations.

In reality, propagandists are distorting the content of Bill No. 12093, which was passed in the first reading on January 9, 2025. This was reported by the StopFake project.

The text of the bill does indeed state that conscripts who fail to update their information—such as phone numbers, email addresses, or current residence addresses—within the specified timeframe will receive a 50% discount on their fines if they acknowledge the violation and choose not to appeal it in court. Propagandists interpret the last condition—the requirement not to appeal the fine in court—as a refusal of the right to sue Military Recruitment And Social Support Center employees for any wrongdoing. However, such a provision is absent from the bill. It simply states that individuals who accept the fine’s legitimacy and choose not to challenge it in court may pay half the penalty.

Previously, we analyzed a fake video claiming that employees of the Odesa Military Recruitment And Social Support Center were allegedly serving draft notices dressed as Santa Clauses.
