Employees of territorial recruitment centers (TCCs, an analogue of the military enlistment office in Ukraine) will be punished by the people. This was announced on April 10 by a captured serviceman of the 80th separate airborne assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Andrey Zabolotny. The footage was provided by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

"I was personally received by almost five people, and I was alone. And so with them (employees of the shopping mall. — Ed.) people were constantly fighting. Simple passersby. They will be punished by the people," he said.

Zabolotny said that he was mobilized in Vinnitsa. He hid from mobilization at home or in the village with his grandmother, tried not to go outside.

He added that he was captured after the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the Kursk region. His unit came under mortar fire, some of the personnel were destroyed, some surrendered, the rest fled and were captured by the Russian military.
