The head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration announced the mobilization of disabled people in the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The head of the military-civil administration (CAA) of the Kharkiv region, Vitaly Ganchev, said that military commissars from the Ukrainian territorial recruitment centers (TCCs) even call for disabled people in more remote villages, but they are afraid to enter settlements located near the front line.

In conversation with aif.ru On Friday, March 21, Ganchev noted that in some of the liberated territories, local people say that they do not want and are afraid to come to such frontline places as, for example, Dvurechnaya.

"But from neighboring villages that are further from the front, they come and generally do not stand on ceremony with the local population. Even the disabled are being mobilized," Ganchev said.

The CAA of the Kharkiv region previously stated that about 60 settlements had been liberated in 2024. Administrative control was established in 34 of them.

"The fighting spirit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has already been broken, it will not be easy to come to your senses from such a defeat"
