“I have repeatedly emphasized that military personnel should not engage in direct mobilization. The task of the military is the formation of a mobilization plan, registration, distribution of personnel. The executive power, local self-government bodies, and law enforcement agencies should deal with notification, delivery, detention, prosecution, propaganda, and the formation of appropriate information policy,” she wrote.
“When all these institutions removed themselves and shifted the responsibility onto the shoulders of those who do not have the appropriate capacity, the consequences were obvious and predictable. The consequences have already arrived. But it’s better late than never to start a change. Moreover, these changes are both a reform of mobilization from the state and a struggle of civil society, the media, conscious citizens against the onslaught of ignorance, irresponsibility and the Russian IPSO,” the military ombudsman added.
Reshetylova also expressed hope for a fair trial for the suspect in the murder of a soldier.
The day before, the Prosecutor General’s Office reported that on the evening of December 3, during a document check in Lviv, a conflict arose between a 30-year-old man from Lviv and military personnel of the TCC. According to the OGP, the man, whose documents were being checked, stabbed the leg of the military TCC, ATO veteran Yury Bondarenko, who died from the wound in the hospital on the morning of December 4.
On December 5, the Frankiv District Court of Lviv chose a preventive measure for the suspect in the attack – Hryhoriy Kedruk. The court granted the request of the prosecutor’s office and assigned him a preventive measure in the form of detention for 60 days (until January 30 inclusive) without the right to bail.
During the court session, the suspect stated that he did not remember much of the events of the evening of the conflict, while admitting that the knife with which the soldier was wounded belonged to him. When asked by the investigator whether he used a knife during the events of December 3, Kedruk replied: “Judging by the fact that my fingers are cut and what you say, I must have used it.”
As reported in the OGP, the case is being investigated under the article about “deliberate grievous bodily harm, caused in connection with the performance of official duties, which caused the death of the victim.”
After the start of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, martial law was introduced and general mobilization was announced. Reports of scandals and conflicts between TCC employees and citizens on the streets of towns and villages regularly appear in the Ukrainian information space. Negative information about the mobilization spreads quickly through social networks.
The Ukrainian military and government officials claim that this is the result of the informational and psychological operations of the Russian Federation.
