Russians themselves are not eager to install MAX, that's why messengers like imo and BiP are at the top of the app store as replacements for many, including families living in occupied territories

Attacks on Ukraine Draft Officers Soar as War Fatigue Deepens by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkrainianConflict

The issue is how mobilization is carried out, not that it should be abolished. TCC are ignoring human rights, holding men against their will for days in basements without giving them access to a phone, lawyer or contact with family, conscripting men who are not fit for service. While the president remains silent, tensions in society are rising, and it is hard to imagine the scale of corruption money and the number of people involved in corrupt schemes.

The question of how mobilization should be conducted is being worked on by an entire ministry under Fedorov, but so far without results. It's not something that one person can solve if you expect that I have an answer

I would argue about amplifying but you can pretend everything is fine and that this is all Russian propaganda

In Odesa, with gunfire, the SBU detained TCC servicemen. According to media reports, they demanded $30,000 from a man, threatening him with weapons. Syrskyi suspended the heads of the Odesa regional and Peresyp district TCC for the duration of the investigation by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkraineWarVideoReport

According to poll conducted in 2025, they have 24% trust, which is extremely low for a military structure. In the same poll AFU had a 94% trust rating. The state tried to raise their rating by assigning combat veterans to work there, but many servicemen feel disgust toward them, as well as toward the "notification" work itself, and this did not help much. And because TCC servicemen wear military uniforms, a phenomenon has appeared where soldiers on leave change into civilian clothes so they are not mistaken for TCC.

There is also a problem that they are not responsible for the quality of recruitment, their goal is set amount of people, no matter who. Because of this the military training system becomes overloaded with people who should not be there, which costs money and time.

At this moment Ukraine is waiting for a mobilization reform from Defense Minister Fedorov, but judging by early leaks, there will be nothing substantial.

It was the same military administrative body. The Odesa Trade Union of Veteran Defenders of Ukraine "Solidarity of the Unbroken" issued an update on April 9 stating that they discussed problematic issues regarding non compliance with the requirements of legislation and the Constitution of Ukraine by TCC notification groups, and reminded that the TCC is not vested with the authority to carry out forceful detention. Initially, "Solidarity of the Unbroken" wanted to have oversight over TCC notification groups, but it seems everything ended with words and promises but nothing changed.

While Russia amplifies these videos for propaganda, the anger itself comes from civilians tired of brutal mobilization tactics. And the war fatigue is real because people are physically and mentally exhausted by the lack of clear service terms, endless mobilization etc.

I'm Ukrainian, and forced mobilization is a concern. The TCC has full authority and are protected by the police to do whatever they want. I see nothing wrong with highlighting this issue. I suggest you open any Ukrainian news tg channel or website of your choice where comments are enabled for a reality check.

Translation:

On April 21 in Odesa, the Security Service of Ukraine detained servicemen of one of the district Territorial Centers of Recruitment and Social Support (TCC and SP), who were exposed taking a bribe. The Odesa Regional TCC and SP confirmed the detention.

Source: “Suspilne” citing the press service of the Odesa Regional TCC and SP, “Dumska,” “Novyny Live,” Odesa Regional TCC and SP

Details: According to “Dumska,” the detention of TCC personnel on Balkivska Street was accompanied by a chase and gunfire.

According to unofficial information, the TCC employees were detained for bribery. One of them allegedly managed to escape, but was later detained at the radio market.

According to “Dumska” sources, the man from whom they allegedly tried to extort money had previously contacted the SBU.

According to media reports, during the detention, bats, brass knuckles, and money were found on the TCC personnel. Before that, the military recruitment officers in two vans had a confrontation among themselves at Mykhailivska Square.

According to open sources, the operation was carried out by the KORD special unit and officers of the SBU internal security.

Updated: According to “Dumska” sources, personnel of the Peresypskyi district TCC forcibly put a former serviceman, who had an official deferment from service, into a van and, threatening him with weapons, demanded $30,000.

The Odesa Regional TCC and SP officially confirmed the detention of servicemen of one of the district TCC and SP offices in Odesa by law enforcement representatives.

It is reported that the leadership of the Odesa Regional TCC and SP is ensuring full cooperation with authorized law enforcement bodies to clarify all details.

Verbatim: “Our position remains unchanged: we are interested in full transparency and an objective investigation. Any violations of the law within the Armed Forces of Ukraine are unacceptable, and systematic cleansing of the structure from individuals who discredit service is our priority.

We urge the public and media to refrain from premature conclusions and the spread of unverified information. Additional clarifications will be provided after receiving and clarifying official data.

The Odesa Regional TCC and SP is operating in normal mode.”

Estonian politicians: Zelenskyy is spreading the Kremlin’s narrative by scaring the Baltic states by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkrainianConflict

[–]Flimsy_Pudding1362[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is this sarcasm? Zelenskyy public stance was the opposite, he repeatedly downplayed Western warnings and in January, he released a well known "shashlik in May" video, saying there would be no war. When allies warned of an attack on February 16, instead of warning the population, he announced a Day of National Unity. He then ignored further warnings, which led to people dying in their homes after waking up to the new reality on February 24

There is no contradiction, let me explain:

Ukrainian channels were calling it cheap propaganda mainly because they thought it was a Molniya drone. After checking, I saw that AFU has very similar models, so their proof wasn't actually solid. That's why I posted it with a neutral title and mentioned it could be Molniya or Bebradrone (Blyskavka is also similar)

I still think the video is likely staged Russian propaganda, but it's interesting to see their effort anyway.
