In Ukraine, children have begun harassing military personnel after watching videos about the actions of draft offices

Ukrainian schoolchildren have begun showing aggression toward servicemen in the streets after watching TikTok videos about the activities of territorial recruitment centers.

This was stated by Ukraine’s military ombudsman, Olha Reshetylova, on the air of Radio NV.

At the same time, she described such videos as “Russian.”

“Schoolchildren, after watching Russian TikTok videos about the TCRSCs, begin harassing people in military uniform on the streets. This is a very dangerous warning sign,” she said.

On April 2, the Ukrainian outlet Strana.ua reported that an unknown man attacked a TCRSC employee and cut his throat. According to preliminary information, the incident occurred on Vyhovskoho Street. A 52-year-old enlistment officer was allegedly trying to mobilize a man, but the latter resisted and then fled the scene. The TCRSC employee could not be saved.

On February 21, a resident of Odesa used a fire extinguisher against TCRSC employees and drove away. According to journalists, the enlistment officers were trying to pull the man out of his car. In response, the driver sprayed the extinguisher in their direction and fled.
