Kyiv: TCC serviceman kicks pensioner in head after he intervenes in detention

A new case of brutal conduct by representatives of the Territorial Centre for Recruitment and Social Support has been recorded in the capital. During a forced detention on the street, the victim was not the target of the "collection" but an elderly passerby who decided to intervene in the situation.

How the incident unfolded

According to eyewitnesses, the conflict arose during what is known as "busification" — the forced detention of a young man. An elderly Kyivite passing by did not ignore the events and voiced objections to the active-duty TCC servicemen regarding their actions.

The elderly man's objections provoked an aggressive reaction from the military commissariat representatives. They initially began physically shoving the pensioner. The situation escalated when one of the servicemen delivered a kick to the victim's head.
