The office of the military ombudsperson reported that an inspection is being conducted.
The day before, near the temporary deployment point of the National Guard of Ukraine in Petropavlivska Boryspilka there was a clash. There were not only mobilized men there, but also soldiers who defended Mariupol and Azovstal, as well as those who were in captivity in the Russian Federation and returned to service, the military ombudsperson Olha Reshetylova said.
“Civilian residents repaid them with spitting, eggs, broken windows, and swearing youths.”
Whether there were violations regarding military personnel who returned from SZSCh, draftees, regarding the procedures and stages of their service, — we will establish within the framework of the inspection,” she emphasized.
The military ombudsperson noted that the question remains open whether trust between society and the military can be restored, which yesterday’s events near Kyiv undermined. Reshetylova added that everyone must make an effort to restore trust.
In the military ombudsperson’s press service, they stressed that an inspection has begun to establish under what circumstances mobilized personnel awaiting basic preliminary military training, and soldiers who left the military unit of their own accord, ended up at the temporary deployment point in Petropavlivska Boryspilka.
“Special attention will be paid to the circumstances of undergoing a military-medical examination, the reasonableness of conclusions about fitness for military service in light of health status, as well as the circumstances of leaving the military unit of one’s own accord and the procedure for returning to military service,” the statement said.
In the military ombudsperson’s office, the assault on the deployment point and the use of force against soldiers were called unacceptable. They added that those involved in the clashes in Petropavlivska Boryspilka must be held accountable.
Former head of the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Kovalenko, stated that law enforcement should conduct an objective investigation into the causes and consequences of this clash. He also emphasized the importance of an “honest dialogue between the state and society about the reality.”
“And if we all do not want to capitulate, we need new approaches to the fight and the participation of society in this struggle,” Kovalenko added.
Yesterday, information circulated on social networks about alleged torture of people in a house in Petropavlivska Boryspilka. After this, a crowd gathered near the house demanding the release of mobilized individuals. Civilians tried to get onto the territory of the temporary deployment point of the military unit 3121. General-major Oleksandr Pivnenko arrived at the scene and confirmed that soldiers are in the house after SZSCh. Four defenders were taken to a medical facility.
Commander of the Azov military group Denys Prokopenko stated that the scandal in Petropavlivska Boryspilka serves Russia’s interests. Minister Ivan Vyhivskyi ordered a formal investigation. Head of the Army Reserve Council of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Ivan Tymochko believes it was a planned Russian operation.
