The TCC claims that summonses and coercive measures are ineffective

«Summonses don't work»: CCC explains why mobilisation alerts failed

A spokesperson for the Poltava Regional Territorial Centre for Recruitment and Social Support (TCCs and JVs) Roman Istomin stated that the delivery of summonses in Ukraine often fails due to the massive disregard of legal requirements for citizens to report to recruitment centres.

According to him, in such circumstances, «only the compulsory option remains», as voluntary reporting to the TCC rarely works.

Istomin stressed that a significant number of citizens do not respond to summonses and do not fulfil their obligation to clarify their data and undergo military registration procedures.

According to him, this creates obstacles in the implementation of mobilisation plans, as well as in keeping accurate records of persons liable for military service.

The spokesperson stressed that the process cannot be effective without coercive measures, as «voluntariness has virtually disappeared».

Context.

In recent months, TCCs in different regions have reported difficulties with alerts and data clarification due to the refusal of citizens to cooperate.

Earlier, the government stated the need to strengthen control, modernise registers and introduce new accounting mechanisms.

The issue of mobilisation remains one of the most pressing in the country and is causing a wide public debate.
