Law enforcement officers exposed TCRSS officials who artificially inflated conscription figures. The mobilization in question concerns Chernivtsi, Ternopil, and Zakarpattia regions.
This is reported by News.LIVE citing the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
What is known about the fake mobilization in three regions of Ukraine
“According to the investigation, officials of the Territorial Centers for Recruitment and Social Support entered false information about allegedly mobilized citizens into the ‘Oberig’ registry. In this way, they artificially inflated the indicators of mobilization tasks completed. In total, the documentation records 446 instances of fake mobilization,” the statement says.
According to the publication, suspicions have been announced for two former heads of district TCRSS in Chernivtsi and Ternopil regions, as well as for seven members of an organized group in Zakarpattia.
As established by law enforcement, officials used their own qualified electronic signatures and access to the ‘Oberig’ registry to enter false data. There appeared information about mobilization of people who were not actually conscripted, or those who had already served and could not be mobilized again.
Thus, in Chernivtsi region 35-year-old former head of one of the district TCRSS, from January to March 2026 year, entered into the ‘Oberig’ registry inaccurate information about allegedly mobilized 99 persons. In particular, he used fabricated questionnaire data and information about servicemembers who at that time were already serving.
In Ternopil region 39-year-old former head of a district TCRSS, according to the investigators, in March 2026 of the year, in a similar manner recorded into the registry data about 18 people as allegedly mobilized. Among them were current servicemembers, as well as a serviceman who had already died, and a fighter who has been in Russian captivity for a long time.
However, the most extensive scheme was uncovered in Zakarpattia. There 36-year-old at that time deputy head of a district TCRSS created a group, which included an interim head of the center, an interim deputy head, and an operator from one of the departments.
“Participants of the group entered into the registry false data about persons who had already been mobilized, documented them as allegedly undergoing a repeated military medical examination and a new conscription. The organizer, according to the investigation, coordinated the actions of other participants and distributed roles,” the statement says.
As a result, in this way 329 instances of fake mobilizations were recorded.
The actions of the suspects have been qualified under a low-grade article of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. For most of the suspects, preventive measures have already been chosen.
As News.LIVE reported, in Odesa law enforcement officers uncovered two groups of TCRSS alerting, which during mobilization measures illegally detained people, beat them, and forcibly brought them to territorial centers. Ten military personnel were part of these groups.
We also wrote that one court decision shows that mobilization is not canceled even in case of violations by the TCRSS.
