The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine will conduct official inspections in all Territorial Recruitment Centers (TRCs) due to cases of human rights violations and violence against those liable for military service. This was reported by Deputy Minister of Defense Mstyslav Banik on Facebook, according to UNN.
Details
Yesterday, I held an urgent meeting with the Ground Forces Command regarding the incidents at the Odesa TRC. Any violence, violation of human rights, and desecration of human dignity towards people, some of whom will become our defenders, is categorically unacceptable, especially in the 5th year of the war. Based on the results of the meeting, official inspections will be conducted in all TRCs to scrutinize citizens' appeals regarding illegal detention, violence, and other unlawful actions as closely as possible. I called for transparent communication with society and maximum cooperation with all law enforcement agencies
According to him, such incidents once again confirm how critically overdue the TRC reform is, which the Ministry of Defense is currently working on.
He emphasized that the functions of the TRC should be distributed among other institutions, without a closed cycle of registration and mobilization.
Hubs where people will wait to undergo Military Medical Commissions (MMC) and be sent to training centers and brigades must be as comfortable and humane as possible, with 24/7 video recording and strict control over interaction with citizens at all stages
As a reminder
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine called the issue of reforming the Armed Forces of Ukraine (including territorial recruitment centers) sensitive and refused to provide detailed information about the modernization of the Ukrainian military in general and the process of mobilizing the population in particular.
