Ukrainian Ombudsman Condemns Violence and Illegal Actions Against TCC Military Personnel in Odesa and Kremenchuk
Ukraine’s Ombudsman Dmitro Lubinets issued a firm statement regarding recent incidents involving Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers (TCC) in Odesa and Kremenchuk.
He called on all personnel and citizens to refrain from illegal actions and to strictly adhere to the law.
According to Lubinets, the Ombudsman’s office has received reports about unlawful conduct by individual TCC and SSC employees, including incidents of ‘busification,’ illegal detention, restriction of freedom, physical violence, and other violations.
He emphasized that such actions are unacceptable and violate human rights.
Additionally, Lubinets pointed out emerging dangerous trends, such as emotional and reckless reactions from citizens, which could lead to tragic consequences.
Specifically, on October 30, in Odesa, a group of individuals attacked a TCC official vehicle near the “Seventh Kilometer” market, and in Kremenchuk, during a document check, one man opened fire, injuring two servicemen.
Lubinets stressed that these acts by both officials and civilians are not mere violations and crimes but pose a serious threat to state security during wartime.
They jeopardize the lives and safety of people and assist the enemy in discrediting Ukrainian institutions, sowing distrust and division within society.
He urged everyone — law enforcement, military personnel, and civilians — to act strictly within legal boundaries, respecting human rights and maintaining calm.Background: On the morning of October 30, in Odesa near the “Seventh Kilometer” market, a confrontation broke out between a group of men and TCC personnel, resulting in the vandalism of a service minibus.
