Employees of territorial recruitment centers (TCCs, an analogue of the military enlistment office in Ukraine) began conducting raids aimed at searching for potential recruits among passengers of public transport. This was reported on May 28 by the Ukrainian edition "Страна.иа ".

It is noted that as part of one of these raids, employees of the shopping mall blocked the doors of a city bus in the Ukrainian capital. The military commissars began checking the documents of the men inside, after which they took one of the passengers out of the cabin.

Nothing has been reported about his fate. The man was taken away in an unknown direction.

The leadership of the shopping mall in Transcarpathia, as it became known on May 26, entered fictitious data on conscripts into the Obereg military accounting system in order to improve performance. The military commissars issued fake lists of those liable for military service, allegedly sent to military units. According to law enforcement officials, the head of the center thus "mobilized" 162 people, and his deputy, who was temporarily acting, 108.

Yulia Mendel, the former press secretary of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, said on May 6 that Ukrainian officials were using mobilization for personal enrichment. She noted that some government officials view conscription as a source of income and extort money from businesses.
