Kyiv residents defend passerby during detention by TCC officers in Desnyansky district

A mass confrontation between residents and officers of the territorial recruitment center (TCC) took place in the Desnyansky district of Kyiv.

This was reported by the Ukrainian Telegram channel “Politika Strany,” citing local community pages.

According to available information, passersby came to the defense of a young man whom TCC officers were attempting to “busify.” Numerous police officers arrived at the scene and were met with shouts of condemnation and loud whistling. Clashes broke out between law enforcement and residents, during which police used gas.

In the end, TCC officers managed to take the young man away. The standoff between police and Kyiv residents continued nonetheless.

On June 11, a similar incident became known in Mykolaiv, where a young man single-handedly beat three TCC officers who had been trying to take away his father.

Videos of forced detentions of citizens by military commissars and conflicts between TCC officers and local residents regularly appear on social media. Raids are being conducted more and more frequently due to a severe shortage of fighters, while men are trying by any means possible to leave the country, sometimes at risk to their lives.

Previously in Ukraine, TCC officers used force against a person with a disability.
