Aggression against recruitment officers has become increasingly threatening, police say.

It’s not a topic people here care to discuss much, wary of feeding Russian propaganda.

But the latest National Police Service report recorded more than 600 assaults on recruitment officers to date and warned that the aggression has become “increasingly threatening”.

The first big alert came in April when several recruiters were stabbed, one fatally. Then this month in Lviv, some 200 protesters surrounded officers attempting to detain a suspected draft dodger and smashed and overturned their car.

The riot made headlines as President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned violence against serving soldiers.

    So they’re just supposed to give up Crimea and there are no security guarantees from Russia at all, a country and government famous for breaking agreements when it suits them. Allows Russia to rebuild its military and attack again. From Crimea even.

      I would assume being allowed into the European alliance would be a security guarantee from the rest of the countries in the EU. Russian security guarantees aren’t worth anything anyway.
