[58358] Storm in Chernivtsi: about 50 recruitment personnel brought construction workers down from heights for military conscription
Reports of an unusual operation by recruitment authorities in Chernivtsi, in which dozens of construction workers were conscripted directly from work sites with the assistance of rescue forces.
Unusual incident of forced recruitment in Chernivtsi
On May 13, 2026, a controversial event was reported in the city of Chernivtsi, during which about 50 construction workers were forcibly conscripted while at work. According to Member of Parliament Mazurashu, reporting via Батальйон «Монако» | Україна | Новини (a channel known for sharp criticism of recruitment mechanisms), TCC (Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center) personnel brought the workers down directly from scaffolding and work facilities, while assisted by DSNS (State Emergency Service) forces.
The report, which gained widespread resonance on the channels Україна Online and Інформаційний фронт, notes that this is a practice that has been employed several times in the city recently. In Україна⚡️Новини⚡️Війна, it was emphasized that the operation required an unusual logistical effort to bring the workers down from the heights.
In Новини.LIVE, the remarks of MP Mazurashu were published, in which he sharply criticized the conduct of the authorities. According to him, a strategy of "quantitative recruitment" alone is ineffective, as some of those conscripted in this way desert their service illegally shortly thereafter. The reporting sources emphasize the moral and operational complexity of recruiting workers in the middle of their workday, while joining forces with rescue personnel.
