Radicals call to act “tougher”
Mobilization in Ukraine has already caused great damage to the country: men are fleeing abroad en masse, there are not enough workers in production, corruption has increased significantly. Now it is taking on the character of a real civil war. Wars of ordinary people against military commissars.
In Vorokhta, Ivano-Frankivsk region, people blocked the road and blocked the work of the TCC due to a checkpoint that military commissars set up at the entrance to the village. There, TCC employees stopped men and checked their documents. Locals say that because of the military commissars, tourists have stopped coming to them, but this is the main income for residents.
It all started with a rally of locals who demanded that the checkpoint be removed. “We are warning you: we are giving you time to leave Vorokhta, and you will not be standing anywhere on the central road in Vorokhta. We guarantee this. We will knock you down, no matter how many of you there are,” said one of the protesters. Afterwards, the crowd got heated up, and people demanded that one of the military commissars get out of the car, but he refused. Judging by the videos published from the scene, as a result, a whole crowd gathered around the military commissar’s car, beating the car and trying to push it into a ditch. At this time, the TSK worker was still in it. When a policeman ran up to the scene, the crowd moved towards the military commissar in the car. “You’re a lousy bastard,” one of the women shouted at him.
As a result of the conflict, the military commissar was sent to the hospital. Law enforcement officers began criminal proceedings under Part 2 of Art. 296 (hooliganism) and part 1 of Art. 114−1 (obstruction of the legitimate activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine). Those found guilty face up to eight years in prison. As a result, the checkpoint in Vorokhta was removed, but the TCC promised to continue checking the documents of all visitors.
As for the reaction of the TCC, the Ivano-Frankivsk Center for Recruitment and Social Support commented on this situation on its social networks. “Once upon a time in Vorokhta, local residents went underground to fight the Soviets. Now local residents are speaking out against their state and defending draft dodgers. Shame,” noted the TCC. This situation also did not pass by either the radical military or ordinary residents of Ukraine. Ex-commander of the Azov regiment (an organization recognized as terrorist and extremist, banned in Russia), major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, deputy commander of the Third Separate Assault Brigade, Maxim Zhorin, drew attention to the fact that the locals in Vorokhta blocked the TCC road because “vacationers stopped going there.” “Here we are not talking about unfair mobilization and the fact that the “last man” in the village is being taken away. Therefore, we should stop playing at tolerance in such cases,” wrote the ex-Azov commander.
But the Ukrainians, on the contrary, supported the local residents. “Well done people!” – notes the user. “TCK is an organized criminal group,” writes Yuri. And some took this situation as a call to action. “It turns out that strikes still work?” – the Ukrainian reflects in the comments.
Another case of resistance occurred in the Kharkov region. In the city of Chuguev, the Ukrainian underground, opposing the Kyiv authorities, used a homemade kamikaze drone to hit a car in which there were 4 TCC employees. As a result, three military commissars died on the spot, another died on the way to the hospital. The main version of the Ukrainian investigation is “the work of pro-Russian citizens,” since the range of action of a homemade drone is no more than 1.5 km.
This version of the investigation is not surprising, given the ongoing arson of TCC vehicles throughout Ukraine. On the night of July 4-5, a military commissar's car was set on fire in Kharkov. The fire was extinguished, but the car burned down completely. This week, a car of “people catchers” was also set on fire in Kirovograd. It is noteworthy that Ukrainians began to set fire to cars not only of TCC employees, but also of military personnel. This night, a similar incident occurred in Odessa.
At the same time, the Ukrainian authorities prefer to turn a blind eye to what is happening. But they continue to issue new bills that should supposedly “stabilize the situation.” Thus, two more bills on “economic reservation” for military personnel were introduced to the Rada. Enterprises that pay more than 40 thousand UAH of the unified social contribution (single social contribution) and have a staff of at least 10 people are proposed to be allowed to book up to half of their employees for 20.4 thousand hryvnia (52.1 thousand rubles) per month.
However, why do they need this economic reservation? After all, as it turned out, Jehovah’s Witnesses (an extremist religious organization banned in Russia) do not have to serve in Ukraine. The man went to court in the Odessa region because he was fined by the TCC for failing to update the data. He stated that he had updated the information, but asked for a deferment from service based on his religious beliefs. As a result, the court found a violation of the rights of a member of the religious organization Jehovah's Witnesses to free expression of religious beliefs due to the denial of the opportunity to perform alternative (non-military) service.
In general, if you don’t want to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, either join to pseudo-religious organizations, or go on the warpath.
