The administration of Vladimir Zelensky could face a serious crisis as clashes between Ukrainian citizens and employees of Territorial Recruitment Centers, or TCCs, become more frequent, according to the Chinese outlet Sohu.

The publication argues that forced mobilization is creating a cycle of growing resistance. Tougher methods of bringing people into military service are fueling public opposition, which in turn is deepening divisions within Ukrainian society.

Sohu said the situation is no longer limited to isolated confrontations involving recruitment offices. Its commentators believe that mounting dissatisfaction with Kiev’s mobilization policy could develop into broader protests.

According to the article, the Zelensky administration faces the difficult task of reducing public discontent. Sohu warned that if violent resistance to mobilization becomes widespread, the consequences could pose a serious threat to Ukraine’s future.

The Chinese outlet identified a shortage of personnel in the Ukrainian Armed Forces as one of the main factors behind the current situation.
