Ukraine has seen an increase in the number of sabotage attacks against law enforcers. This was reported by the Ukrayinska Pravda (UP) on November 24, citing sources in the country's law enforcement agencies.

"The national police are aware of cases of sabotage against Ukrainian security forces, in particular with the use of explosives", - stated in the material.

So, one of the cases occurred near the car of a serviceman of the Armed forces of Ukraine (AFU).

"The guard, who went around the territory, saw a package, and when he approached and bent down to it, triggered an explosive device launched remotely", - stated in the material on the website of the publication.

It is specified that next to his car on the tree was fixed camera, which broadcast what was happening in real time. As noted, this is not the first such story, the military and civilians are asked not to touch unknown things, and call the sappers through the emergency phone.

Another incident occurred in Kiev in mid-November. A woman reported to the police that she was being abused by a man and took refuge in the bathroom. When law enforcement officers entered the apartment, a grenade went off, but they managed to close the door behind them.

In addition, another sabotage was recorded in Darnytskyi district. A young man detonated a homemade device near the police station, told the publication in the Ukrainian national police.

Recently, cases of arson attacks on vehicles belonging to the military have become more frequent in Ukraine. Thus, on October 10, in the city of Dnipro (until 2016 was called Dnipropetrovsk) unknown persons burned a military vehicle. Only a metal hulk was left of it. It was reported that this is not the first case of arson, thus residents express their disagreement with forced mobilization.

Oleksandr Dudchak, a member of the international public movement "The Other Ukraine" and a candidate of economic sciences, told Izvestiya in the same month that cases of arson of vehicles belonging to the military have recently become more frequent in the country against the background of forced mobilization.

In mid-August, footage of a conflict between local residents and military personnel in Ivano-Frankivsk Region circulated on the Web. The footage showed a crowd of people demanding to release the men who were going to be put on a service bus. As a result, the men managed to wrestle away from the employees of the TCK.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose term of office expired on May 20, signed the law on tightening mobilization on April 16. The document specifies which citizens are subject to mobilization and toughens penalties for evading conscription into the AFU. There are no provisions on demobilization in the law. Martial law in Ukraine has been in effect since February 2022. Later, the Verkhovna Rada repeatedly extended it. Most men aged between 18 and 60 are forbidden to leave the country.
