Incidents involving TCK explosions: The Center for Counteracting Disinformation has identified those responsible.

Acts of terrorism against territorial recruitment centers and social support (TRC and SS), including building explosions, are being orchestrated by the security services of the Russian regime in Ukraine. This is part of a campaign aimed at destabilizing the situation in Ukraine and disrupting the mobilization into the Armed Forces.

This was reported by the head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council, Andrey Kovalenko. He noted that operations to sabotage TRC and SS are conducted under the supervision of the Federal Security Service of Russia and the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces (formerly known as the GRU).

According to him, Russian occupiers are intensifying their information-psychological operations. The enemy is utilizing the media landscape to disrupt mobilization processes.

"Alongside this, there is an intensified media campaign that has been ongoing since 2022, but particularly significant efforts to undermine mobilization and infiltrate the media sphere (bloggers, bots, social networks) have been invested by the Russians since 2024", Kovalenko noted.

It is worth mentioning that on Saturday, February 1, a powerful explosion occurred at the territorial recruitment center and social support (TRC and SS) in Rivne. As a result of the explosion, 1 person died and 6 others were injured to varying degrees.

Additionally, in the Poltava region, a staff member of the TRC was attacked — a soldier was shot at a gas station. On February 1, while escorting military reservists to a training center in Pyriatyn, an unknown assailant attacked the serviceman. Threatening him with a hunting rifle, the criminal demanded that the soldier hand over his weapon. After the soldier refused, the assailant opened fire, fatally wounding the soldier. The perpetrator seized the deceased's automatic weapon and fled the scene with one of the military reservists.

The murder of the TRC soldier is unfolding with new details. Journalists managed to uncover specifics of this horrific crime. Moreover, on February 2, the commander of the Ground Forces, General Drapatiy commented on the murders of the TRC soldiers.
