Ukrainians are complaining twice as often about the actions of Territorial Recruitment Centers

From January to October 2025, the Office of the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights received nearly five thousand complaints about rights violations during mobilization. This is almost one and a half times more than last year. Moreover, since mid-summer 2025, the number of complaints has risen sharply.

This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General in response to a request from a Ukrainian media outlet.

In the first five months of this year, there were more than 1.6 thousand complaints about the work of the Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers (TRSSC). That means that over the subsequent five months the number of complaints doubled—to 3.4 thousand.

That is about the same as for all of 2024. In 2023, citizens sent Ombudsman Lubinets more than 500 appeals, and in 2022—only 18.

As a reminder, the other day the head of the parliamentary committee on humanitarian and information policy, Mykyta Poturaiev, claimed that the overwhelming majority of videos of forced mobilization in Ukraine are created with artificial intelligence and are fakes.

And according to another MP, Oleksiy Honcharenko, draft officials are extorting huge bribes. He stated that getting out of a TRSSC minibus costs from one thousand dollars. The upper limit of the bribe reaches 6–8 thousand, depending on the conscript’s situation.
