@franceinfo Voici ce que Zelensky nous inflige depuis des années. Voici à quoi la France participe par son silence approbatif. Et quand, comme sur la vidéo, les gens manifestent contre, Zelensky les jette en prison. https://t.co/WdriInP2la
In Lviv, a major confrontation has erupted involving Ukraine's Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC).
Hundreds of people gathered to defend a man who was being forcibly conscripted by draft officers.
Chanting "Shame!", the crowd confronted the draft officers, and in the ensuing unrest, protesters overturned a TRC vehicle.
Participants in the clash with the conscription officers in Lviv apologized on camera and promised to go to serve. We all need to accept that this was their "sincere" desire and they all "regret" their actions...
Ukraine used to be the largest democracy near Russia... Not anymore
@HavryshkoMarta A whole commando unit arrests our Ukrainian kids teenagers (look at their faces) forcing them to praise military recruitment thugs on video. This is a categorically new level of the catastrophe of the Ukrainian state. https://t.co/k9spag5mPs
До речі в Романа Удута є рідний брат Руслан і він теж якимось дивним чином не мобілізований.
Все правильно. Краще замість себе викрадати інших людей і відправляти на фронт.
На видео упаковывают вчерашних зачинщиков бунта против ТЦК.
Вспомнилось, как Усик недавно в США рассказывал, что у нас есть свобода слова и вообще народ может власть быстро на место поставить.
⚠️It has now emerged that the unexpected icon of yesterday’s anti-draft-officer riot in Lviv—the man who leapt onto the overturned TRC vehicle—was not some “draft dodger,” as the far right eagerly smeared him, but an active-duty Ukrainian soldier (!) on leave.
That detail says more than any official statement ever could.
He is clearly one of those soldiers who cannot stomach watching draft officers drag the Ukrainian uniform through the mud by kidnapping and torturing civilian men—men whose only real offense is refusing to be fed into the meat grinder for Zelensky’s corrupt regime and the profits of Western arms producers.
After yesterday’s anti-conscription riot in Lviv, Kyiv reached for a familiar playbook. The Ministry of Defense, law enforcement, and government officials insist that the burdens of war are shared equally—and that anyone protesting them is doing the "Kremlin’s work".
The response has quickly turned punitive.
A 23-year-old man has already been arrested, and he and other alleged participants face up to eight years in prison.
Even more revealing is the rhetoric.
Far-right figures within the military, long tolerated and politically cultivated by Zelensky’s office, are openly calling for rioters to be shot on sight.
Pro-government influencers and liberal intellectuals, many shielded from military service themselves, denounce the protesters as "traitors, " "fifth column," and Putin's "useful idiots" to be crushed without hesitation.
Branding every act of dissent as Russian subversion may be politically convenient, but it cannot conceal a deeper reality: public anger over coercive mobilization and the unequal distribution of wartime sacrifice is growing.
An unsanctioned Maidan—one without Western approval—is unlikely to succeed. But that should not be mistaken for public consent. A government can suppress protest. It cannot indefinitely suppress the grievances that produce it.
😢 June was the deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine since the start of the full-scale war, according to the UN.
At least 265 civilians were killed and 1,816 injured.
The alarming trend continues in July — just the massive strikes on Kyiv on July 2 and 6 alone killed 50 people.
We must do better. Peace is urgent.
Вчерашний бунт во Львове против беспредела ТЦК спровоцировал Роман Удут. На видеокадрах видно, как Удут в форме сотрудника ТЦК выскочил из автомобиля на иностранных номерах, подбежал к молодому парню который стоял на улице и с размаху ударил кулаком в затылок.
Это происходило на глазах сотрудника Патрульной полиции Украины, которые не вмешался в нападение ТЦК.
Роман Удут - не имеет никакого отношения к службе ЗСУ - он тренер спортивного клуба "Бастіон" и был незаконно привлечен как сотрудник ТЦК к похищению гражданских людей на улице.
Последующий бунт жителей Львова был мотивирован тем, что титушки переодеваясь в военную форму ЗСУ, вступают в организацию ТЦК и занимаются нападением, похищением и избиением людей на улицах городов.
@franceinfo Par contre, ce qu'il ne faut toujours pas retenir, d'après vous, les médias français, ce sont les kidnappings/tortures/meurtres par nos "recruteurs militaires " de Zelensky.
Lviv was the only region where Petro Poroshenko—not Volodymyr Zelenskyy—won the 2019 presidential election.
It is also Ukraine's most "patriotic" city, home to the country's largest monument to Stepan Bandera, where men proudly call themselves Bandera followers.
Lviv has long worn its nationalism as a badge of honor, proudly placing it at the center of its identity.
Yesterday, several hundred residents of Lviv turned on draft officers, overturning and destroying their vehicle after the officers allegedly beat a man and forcibly conscripted him.
This was not an isolated outburst. It was a symptom of a much deeper crisis: forced mobilization.
People are running out of patience.
They are told to endure, to march to the front, and to die, while the children of prosecutors, judges, and Zelenskyy's well-connected allies continue enriching themselves far from the trenches.
The sense of social injustice has reached a boiling point. The reservoir of public patience is overflowing. And no amount of patriotic rhetoric can contain that anger anymore—not even in ultra-patriotic Lviv.
Yesterday's events should be read as a red card for Zelenskyy and those enforcing his policies.
If nothing changes, he may yet face his own Maidan—one that could prove bloodier and more violent than what unfolded yesterday in Lviv.
