Reaction from the TCC

"Mobilization measures are of paramount importance for staffing the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the aim of strengthening defense capabilities at the front and preserving civilian lives in the rear. We emphasize that any use of force against military personnel while they are performing their official duties, as well as obstruction of their lawful activities, entails criminal liability under current Ukrainian law, and an attack on representatives of the TCC and the Joint Staff constitutes aiding the enemy’s interests,” the TCC stresses.
