Ukraine pretends to just notice horrific press-ganging of men across the country for years
Lviv, Ukraine — After morbid videos of press-ganging of men across Ukraine have surfaced for years, as thousands die weekly at the front, the Ukrainian government is now pretending to notice as it tries to appease an angry populace.
It has been obvious for some time that 'helping Ukraine' is not the agenda, but rather depopulating the country for the EU globalist reich. The Ukrainian population is beginning to realize this reality. Evidence of this agenda is well-documented.
A crowd of approximately 200 civilians surrounded and overturned a Ukrainian Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC) vehicle in Lviv’s Sykhiv district on the evening of July 8, triggering two criminal investigations and an unusual internal review by the military into the conduct of its own recruitment officers.
Reports one of the bounty hunters pointed at a man and yelled, "Get that one, he's worth $2,000!" This is reportedly what set off the crowd.
The EU just gave Ukraine EUR 90B and it seems some of these funds are paying for bounty hunters to seize men off the streets across Ukriane; the price used to be $200 per head.
Ukraine’s prosecution service announced on July 9 that it had opened proceedings against participants in the clash, charging them with obstructing the activities of the Armed Forces during martial law and with violence against a law enforcement officer. Prosecutors said a responding police officer was attacked by members of the crowd.
According to authorities, TRC officers had detained a man born in 1996 who was wanted for violating military registration requirements. Video footage circulating on social media showed protesters chanting “shame,” tearing off the vehicle’s front bumper, and eventually flipping the vehicle.
In a notable development, Ukraine’s General Staff issued a statement condemning the attack on recruitment personnel while simultaneously launching its own review to determine whether TRC officers acted lawfully during the operation. “If violations are established, those responsible will be held accountable,” the General Staff said. Such self-examination of TRC conduct has been rare in previous conscription-related incidents.
Military Ombudsman Olha Reshetylova attributed the tensions to government officials and politicians exploiting mobilization issues, urging a “complete overhaul of the conscription system.”
Presidential Office head Kyrylo Budanov cautioned against turning against Ukrainian troops. “If today you tear the clothes off and beat servicemen of your own army, think about who will protect you tomorrow from an enemy army that will beat you and tear the clothes off you instead,” he said.
Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi blamed Russian interests for stoking internal divisions. “Russia is most interested in getting Ukrainians to start fighting among themselves,” he said, calling for full accountability for all lawbreakers.
The incident reflects growing friction over Ukraine’s mobilization efforts. National Police data shows attacks on TRC personnel have risen sharply: just five in 2022, 341 in 2025, and more than 100 already recorded in 2026 as of April.
Literally hundreds of videos have appeared online showing bounty hunters abusing Ukrainian families, even shooting at them, spraying old women with pepper spray, and beating elderly.
