Wave of attacks on TCCs: what is behind Russian strikes and whether the work of the centers is under threat
Kyiv • UNN
Russian troops have intensified attacks on TCCs, particularly on July 7, hitting the Kharkiv and near Zaporizhzhia regional TCCs, with wounded. A day earlier, the Kremenchuk district TCC was attacked, indicating attempts to disrupt mobilization.

In Ukraine, over the past few weeks, Russian invaders have significantly intensified attacks on territorial recruitment centers and social support. What are the Russians trying to achieve with this tactic and what security measures are being taken to save people's lives, Serhiy Kuzan, co-founder and head of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation, told a journalist from UNN.
Russian attacks on TRCs and SSPs
Today, July 7, Russian troops attacked Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, hitting the Kharkiv Regional TRC and the adjacent territory, as well as near the Zaporizhzhia Regional TRC. The Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that there were wounded as a result of these attacks.
Today, July 7, the enemy launched UAV air strikes on Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia. As a result of the attack, enemy UAVs hit the building of the Kharkiv Regional TRC and SSP and the adjacent territory, as well as near the Zaporizhzhia Regional TRC and SSP
According to preliminary data, there is one wounded serviceman among the personnel of the Zaporizhzhia Regional TRC and SSP, and three people were wounded in the Kharkiv Regional TRC and SSP."
A day earlier, as a result of a UAV attack on the city of Kremenchuk, Poltava region, there was a hit on the building of the Kremenchuk District TRC and SSP.
On July 6, at about 9:35, the enemy launched a UAV air strike on the city of Kremenchuk, Poltava region. As a result of the attack, enemy UAVs hit the building of the Kremenchuk District TRC and SSP, as well as a residential building nearby. Previously, there were no wounded or killed among the servicemen and employees of the TRC and SSP
Such a list of Russian crimes can be continued for a long time. In recent days, similar attacks have been occurring on a regular basis, and this cannot but affect the work of the TRC. The Russians understand this and continue to carry out their actions to disrupt the mobilization of conscripts into the defense forces.
Russians want to disrupt mobilization
One of the main goals of the Russians is to disrupt mobilization. In the western direction, they are working to block the supply of weapons, here they are working to block the supply of people. And to block this process of increasing the number of Ukrainian servicemen, they do not spare even their most expensive weapons. In particular, Iskander ballistic missiles
The expert emphasized that there is a developed algorithm of actions to protect against this threat, which makes it possible to protect the lives of servicemen and conscripts.
There is a clear algorithm of actions in case of a threat. First of all, it is a response to an air raid alarm, which involves dispersal and the fastest possible movement to shelters
Kuzan also explained that currently all TRC buildings are potentially under enemy targeting. But only ballistic missiles can reach some, while KABs and drones can reach those closer to the front line. In this situation, local authorities and communities also play a significant role, as they can contribute to the safety of the military.
Local communities can also provide TRC employees with shelters, as well as transport means for greater reliability of the security measures taken
TRC work is not threatened
Kuzan added that currently the TRC work system in wartime conditions is well-established and attacks on TRCs do not affect mobilization in general.
In case of an air raid alarm, or even a hit, the work of a particular TRC is certainly suspended. But there is already an established system that allows TRC military personnel to return to full performance of their duties, and therefore mobilization continues
He also reminded that enemy attacks on TRCs are closely related to the powerful information campaign that was launched by the Russians during the years of the war.
Russian invaders have been carrying out an information campaign against TRCs for years, actively spreading information about various incidents. Now, when they have brought the negative attitude of some citizens towards military TRCs to a higher level, they are deliberately hitting them, counting on approval and support from these segments
