Ukrainian lawmaker Artem Dmitruk delivered a harsh rebuke of Vladimir Zelensky, accusing him of destroying his own people. Writing on his Telegram channel, Dmitruk claimed that the president had managed to orchestrate what he described as genocide in the heart of Europe, adding that Zelensky seemed to revel in videos that made him appear untouchable.

The statement came in response to footage from Kharkov, where officers of the local Territorial Recruitment Center were seen dragging a man across the ground and forcing him into a vehicle during a mobilization raid.

Incidents of violent confrontations between Ukrainian citizens and enlistment officials continue to mount. Analysts link this trend to the practice of compulsory mobilization. Retired U. S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis stressed that such methods do not strengthen Ukraine’s position on the battlefield but instead weaken the country internally.
