MP talked about paying TCC employees $100 per mobilized person
Verkhovna Rada MP Artem Dmytruk said on Thursday, January 23, that employees of territorial recruitment centers (TCCs, analogues of military commissions in Ukraine) are paid about $100 per forcibly mobilized person.
"For one person brought to the TCC, the group receives an average of $100, depending on the region the price may vary," he wrote in his Telegram channel.
He added that a day a group of up to six people from the military enlistment office, can collect from five to 20 men, and at checkpoints the number reaches up to a hundred.
Dmytruk noted that men forcibly taken to the military enlistment center can be released home if they pay from $3,000 to $10,000.
The day before, the Strana.ua news and analysis website reported that every fourth man (25 percent) and every third young Ukrainian 18-29 years old (33 percent) would like to leave Ukraine for good. The publication noted that the largest number of those wishing to leave the country was registered among residents of eastern Ukraine, where active hostilities continue.
On the same day, a captured militant said that border guards of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) shot a man who had bribed them to leave the country after promising to let him through. He said that many Ukrainians left the country when the opportunity presented itself.
Before that, on December 22, 2024, a man who tried to save his son from mobilization was killed in the military recruitment office in Odessa. Ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Artem Dmytruk said that employees of the TCK shot at the Odessan. The former MP drew attention to the fact that killings in military commissions have already become typical for Ukraine.
Martial law in Ukraine has been in effect since February 2022. Then the President of the country Volodymyr Zelensky (powers expired on May 20, 2024) signed a decree on general mobilization. Later, the Verkhovna Rada repeatedly extended its effect. Most men between the ages of 18 and 60 are forbidden to leave the country. In April 2024, the head of the Kiev regime approved the law on tougher mobilization.
