Edited. by Vladislav Sovin [REGNUM] In numerous videos about force mobilization in Ukraine, which now appear almost every day, representatives of the Territorial Acquisition Centers (TCC), which maintain military records and carry out mobilization, almost always act as human hunters. In the video, they recklessly chase after their fellow citizens who had the misfortune of getting caught, beat them with rifle butts and kick them, push them into their cars, and recently a video in which, while trying to knock down a cyclist, the “man catchers” fell into a ditch, became very popular. And the guy threw the bike and ran away on his own two feet. But if everyone has already become accustomed to stories where Ukrainian men basically run away like this or offer passive resistance, then the reverse process is just becoming fashionable. With the tightening of the rules of mobilization and the suddenly realized hopelessness, yesterday’s “game” is giving an increasingly active rebuff. On June 4, the SBU announced the detention of an energy company security guard in Zaporozhye, who was “preparing to blow up the cars of employees of local military registration and enlistment offices.” The man was monitoring parking lots and planning to install remote-controlled improvised explosive devices. Naturally, he turned out to be a “Russian agent” who was “led by the FSB.” However, his motives are clear and close to millions of ordinary citizens of Ukraine. After all, in the last few days alone, Ukrainian media have reported at least two similar cases. In Kremenchug, a local TCC minibus burned down at night, and in the Kharkov region, a car with military license plates, presumably used by the head of the Saltovsky TCC, was burned. One of the first precedents of force, which received wide publicity and was captured on video, occurred back in March of this year in the Chernivtsi region. There, in one of the mountain villages, TTS workers were attacked by two local residents (probably Russian Old Believers) with axes. Then it turned out that one of them had a mobilized son who went missing. And after the new law on mobilization, which finally turned Ukrainian men into serfs, came into force on May 18 of this year, such cases increased sharply. And sometimes they even turn out to be plots for action films. Thus, at the end of May in the Transcarpathian region, border guards found two men crossing the border illegally. They tried to detain them with shots in the air, but the evaders were not timid and put up successful resistance. They beat the soldier a little, took his pistol away and, shooting back, went to Romania. From there, however, they were returned after an urgent request from the Ukrainian side; unfortunately, the solidarity of the border guards played a role here. Then, one after another, two cases followed in the same Chernivtsi region: on May 31, in one of the villages, while trying to “shave” a local resident, he used a gas spray. As a result, one of the TTS workers received chemical burns to the eyes and respiratory tract and was taken to the hospital. The very next day, June 1, already in Chernivtsi itself, another of the captured men responded to an attempt to foist a summons on him with fists. Two days earlier, in the Cherkasy region, a live grenade was thrown into the yard at night at a local TCC employee. Property was damaged, the military was not, but the Cherkassy TsK about this published an indignant statement: they attacked a hero, what a nightmare. However, the acute attack of national patriotism and enthusiastic perception of members of the Weseushki as light-faced elf-heroes, which happened in Ukraine in 2022, has long passed for the majority. As Major Sergei Alimov of the Armed Forces of Ukraine recently stated in an interview, many military personnel in rear settlements began to wear civilian clothes because they did not want to be mistaken for TCC employees. And they can be understood: a few weeks ago in Dnepropetrovsk, a serviceman sitting peacefully in a car was hit on the head - the guys driving by thought that he was waiting in ambush for a victim. Alimov complained that earlier, in 2022, he was not embarrassed to walk around in uniform, children ran up to him and “some gave a flower, some a bracelet, hugged him.” Now people shun people like him. “Why am I fighting there at the front? So that people here are afraid of me?”- he says. Meanwhile, the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine responded to the huge stream of videos with unlimited mobilization, to which all the above-mentioned cases were a response. As usual, the insidious Russia is to blame for everything. “A significant part” of conflict videos appearing on social networks involving employees of Ukrainian territorial recruitment centers are staged and filmed on Russian territory, the press service of the Ground Forces claims. “We are receiving information about the organization of filming such stories in the temporarily occupied territory. The elements are typical: people in Ukrainian uniforms, together with people in the uniform of the National Police, come into conflict with the “local residents”. Beatings are simulated; the footage contains minibuses and cars with black license plates, as well as cars with Ukrainian license plates of different regions of registration. Neutral locations that are difficult to determine are used,” the official statement says. At the same time, not a day happens without the appearance of more and more new videos where people who do not want to become “cannon fodder” are grabbed and stuffed into minibuses in quite recognizable places throughout Ukraine: from Transcarpathia to Kharkov and from Kyiv to Odessa. TCC employees and the military are actually increasingly feared and hated. So far, the kidnappers in uniform have escaped with only bruises, burns and fear. But the same Major Alimov in the above-mentioned interview says: “All this will end in a new Vradievka,” referring to the sensational riot in Ukraine in the Nikolaev region in 2013 after the police raped and almost killed a girl. The likelihood that the TTS officers will not only be beaten, but also destroyed by all available means is really high. The increasingly frequent cases of active resistance are gradually developing into a trend. However, there is no reason to expect that everything will develop into some kind of organized and truly mass phenomenon, or even more so become a catalyst for a “popular uprising” and a change of power. A real totalitarian regime with a powerful repressive apparatus has been built in Ukraine, the opposition has been destroyed. There is no sign of any anti-war opposition structures capable of becoming the organizing core for a hypothetical uprising (and protecting those who raised their hands against the “pixels”). Therefore, the maximum that can be counted on is spontaneous riots in individual cities and villages, which have no prospects of developing into something more. But, of course, the number of TTS officers who will be able to see first-hand what it’s like to be a victim and not a hunter will increase significantly. Although real retribution for both them and those who give them orders will come only after the liberation of Ukraine from the current cannibalistic regime. More from korrespondent.net Another death at the TCC. Protest in Zhytomyr region NEW INCIDENT WITH TCC In the village of Baranovka, Zhytomyr region, more than a hundred people came out to protest in front of the building of the local TsK and SP after the death of a 32-year-old military serviceman. Ukrainians are increasingly dying in the TCC. Transcarpathia, Dnepropetrovsk region, now Zhytomyr region. In the village of Baranovka, Zhytomyr region, more than a hundred people came out to protest in front of the building of the local TsK and SP after the death of a 32-year-old military serviceman. The man was admitted to the hospital with numerous injuries, but the military registration and enlistment office states that the man was not beaten, and the cause of death was epilepsy. OFFICIAL VERSION The Zhitomir TCC stated that on May 28, Sergei K., liable for military service, was brought to the 2nd department of the Zvyagel RTTSK and SP to undergo a commission. “Witnesses note that the man had been drinking alcohol a few days before and had signs of minor injuries.

The investigative team at the scene of the incident classified the incident as suicide. Unfortunately, on June 2, 2024, the man died in the hospital from injuries received during an epileptic attack,” the TCC reported. The military claims that the investigators who carried out the examination noted: “there was no external physical influence on the man.” FAMILY VERSION We are talking about 32-year-old Sergei Kovalchuk, who was buried in Baranovka on June 4. On May 29, a man with multiple injuries in a coma was taken to the Zvyagel hospital, where he died on June 2 without regaining consciousness. Kovalchuk’s family states that they have information that the man was beaten at the local regional department of the TCC. According to the father of the deceased, he was taken to the hospital with a fracture of the vault and skull. The relatives of the deceased contacted the police. The father said that the police had opened an investigation. Anatoly Bortnik, head of the resuscitation and intensive care unit at the Zvyagel hospital, said that Kovalchuk was brought to their medical facility on the morning of May 29. “He was delivered by ambulance from the city of Baranovka.
