KYIV: Ukrainian commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky on Monday urged an investigation into” terrible” and dangerous weekend attacks on military recruitment areas and officers.
Kyiv is attempting to shore up its sluggish army, which has drawn condemnation and sparked sporadic attacks on recruitment officers and facilities.
This weekend, a enrollment officer was shot dead in the southeast Poltava area, along with an assault on a selection center in Pavlograd’s center and another one on a draft center in Rivne’s northern town.
Three ostensible acts of violence involving military officers occurred in different areas “in a short period of time,” Syrsky wrote on social media.
” Violence against troops is intolerable. We anticipate a thorough and thorough investigation into these acts, he continued.
One person was killed and six were hurt in an explosion at a Russian army recruitment center, according to police in Rivne. One man remains in” major problem”, Syrsky said.
In the meantime, police said they had identified two suspects in the shooting death of a selection official in Poltava using a hunting weapons.
One man was hurt on Sunday, according to authorities, by a fire at the defense selection center in Pavlograd in the Dnipropetrovsk area.
Law enforcement officials have not yet disclosed whether they believe the instances were coordinated.
Without public support for the military and regard for service members, Syrsky continued in his speech.
Hundreds of draft-age people are believed to have fled the country to prevent military assistance, while many others are in hiding, avoiding recruitment.
