In Lviv 9 in August representatives of the Territorial Recruitment Center (umv) smashed a man’s head during an attempt at mobilization, and sprayed gas into his daughter’s face. Despite the bleeding, the people from the umv did not stop trying to force the man into a car. Only when local residents stood up for the injured man were the soldiers forced to leave without him.
The incident occurred in one of Lviv’s districts when a group of umv employees tried to forcibly place a man into a van. Local Telegram channels reported the beating and use of gas. According to them, the man’s head was broken, and his daughter’s face was splashed with gas as she tried to defend her father.
The situation changed only after passersby gathered at the scene to defend the victim. Only then did the umv workers abandon their attempt to take the man and leave the scene.

The injuries were sustained without an official response from the military enlistment office.
As of now, the Lviv Oblast Territorial Center of Recruitment and Social Protection (umv) has not commented on the situation. Earlier, the agency made statements swiftly condemning actions by citizens who obstructed the operation of alert groups, but this time there has been no reaction yet to the specific incident involving the injured man and his daughter.
Incidents of bystanders and local residents intervening in the process of forceful mobilization are not new in Lviv. The city has repeatedly found itself in the spotlight due to clashes between Territorial Defense volunteers and the public, which were accompanied by damage to official vehicles and even injuries to service members.
Similar conflicts with umv have been recorded across Ukraine.
Earlier, Informator reported that a crowd in Lviv overturned a umv vehicle during a mobilization-related conflict, after which mayor Andriy Sadovyi urged residents to stay calm. The situation then drew broad resonance and comments from military and political leadership of the country.
We also wrote that in Dnipro a forced mobilization attempt ended in a clash, during which bricks and chairs were thrown at umv workers. Such clashes indicate that tensions around the work of territorial recruitment centers are rising in various regions of the country.
