TCC's actions prompt alarm in Rada's eyes
In recent days, concerns have escalated over the treatment of conscripts and civilians at Territorial Mobilization Centers (TMCs) across Ukraine. These incidents, which have been reported by Verkhovna Rada deputy Vitaliy Voytseshkovskiy on his Facebook page, have sparked public outrage and scrutiny.
The incidents, occurring in three separate regions - Zolotonosha in the Cherkasy region, Kanev, and the Nikolaev region - have highlighted a growing crisis and public resistance around TMCs.
In the city of Zolotonosha, a conscript was left in a coma after an incident involving TMC staff. The Facebook post did not specify the reason for the conscript's meeting with TMC staff or the circumstances leading to his injury. The regional TMC has acknowledged some responsibility, stating that involved staff have been disciplined.
In Kanev, TMC staff assaulted a 65-year-old pensioner and forcibly took him to the military enlistment office. The man's current condition is unknown, as he was taken to an unknown destination by TMC staff. The regional TMC denies any involvement in the pensioner incident.
In the southern part of Ukraine, clashes between civilians and TMC staff were reported in the Nikolaev region on August 3. No further information was provided about the nature of these clashes or the current status of those involved.
A particularly violent incident occurred in Vinnytsia on August 1, 2025, when relatives of conscripts gathered in protest at a shopping mall where mobilized men had been sent for a medical examination. This led to violent clashes involving protesters, mall employees, social support personnel, and police, with reports indicating the police used gas cylinders. Criminal investigations were initiated against the protesters by authorities.
These incidents underscore the challenges faced by Ukraine’s military mobilization, including increasing public resistance and even violence against recruitment center staff, occasional violent protests and police actions at mobilization sites, and criminal cases arising from clashes tied to conscription mobilization activities.
While official investigations into these specific allegations of assault or mistreatment have not been detailed, the reported atmosphere suggests heightened tensions and conflict at mobilization centers across Ukraine due to forced conscription measures. As these incidents continue to unfold, it is crucial for authorities to address these concerns and ensure the safety and rights of all individuals involved.
