It became known how many police officers are on the front line.

At the end of May, over 17 thousand police officers in Ukraine were involved in preventing armed aggression, which constitutes almost one in five police employees. The Head of the National Police of Ukraine, Ivan Vyhovsky, noted that the police participated in military actions in the Toretsk direction alongside military brigades and the National Guard.

The police are actually under the command of military leadership and have been participating in military actions for several years.

Currently, about 73.5 thousand men aged 25 to 60 work in the police, but the personnel is not being replenished through mobilization resources. The development of the police occurs within the framework of legislation, and the recruitment of new employees is only conducted for combat units.

Ukraine continues to study the use of police in military actions to prevent potential threats and ensure security in the country.
