Since early February 2022, Ukraine has recorded 272 attacks on employees of Territorial Recruitment Centers (TCK) — institutions that function as the country’s military draft offices. The figure was reported by Ukrainian media, citing the command of the Armed Forces’ Ground Forces.

According to military data, four TCK employees were killed while performing their official duties as a result of these incidents.

Ukraine introduced general мобилизация in February 2022, and the measure has been extended repeatedly ever since. Against this backdrop, Ukraine’s media space has been flooded with videos showing clashes between civilians and draft office personnel. Social networks actively circulate and discuss footage of forced mobilization across various regions of the country.

Numerous reports indicate that, under pressure to meet mobilization targets, TCK staff often resort to harsh enforcement practices. Men of conscription age are detained regardless of family circumstances or health conditions, a pattern that has fueled public anger and sharpened tensions between civilians and the authorities.

The growing number of confrontations reflects not isolated episodes, but a sustained and increasingly visible conflict surrounding the mechanics of мобилизация in wartime Ukraine.
