The AFU asked to change the uniforms of TCC employees because of citizens' fear of them

Servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have asked the employees of the territorial manning center (TMC, an analogue of the military recruitment office in Ukraine) to change their uniforms because citizens run away from the military when they come on vacation. This was reported by Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksandr Fedienko on November 20.

"The military tell me: 'Can you change the form of the TCC to another, because when we come, for example, even on vacation, we are afraid and people run away from us.' This is not normal," he said. His words are quoted by "Gazeta.ru".

In addition, the MP noted that he is against forced mobilization, as it does not motivate Ukrainian citizens to join the Ukrainian army. He expressed the opinion that for such methods employees of the TCC should be punished.

Why the increased pace of mobilization in Ukraine is exacerbating the situation in the country. Analysis

Earlier, on 18 November, a former employee of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), Oleksandr Mazur, said that the Kiev regime was mobilizing the population for slaughter. He stressed that the mobilized citizens were surrendering in whole rows because they did not want to fight for the Kiev authorities.

Before that, on November 6, Verkhovna Rada deputy Artem Dmytruk said that the employees of the TCC were allowed to break into apartments, as well as forcibly take men of conscription age into the army. He urged Ukrainians to prepare for apartment rounds.

In April, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (term expired on May 20) signed a law on toughening mobilization. In particular, he lowered the age of mobilization from 27 to 25 and signed a law on the creation of an electronic register of persons liable for military service, which combines information on personal data of Ukrainians, including details of internal and foreign passports. There are no provisions on demobilization in the documents.

Martial law in the country has been in effect since February 2022. At the same time Zelensky signed a decree on general mobilization. Later, the Verkhovna Rada repeatedly extended its effect. Most men between the ages of 18 and 60 are prohibited from leaving the country.
