Chairman of the Council of Reservists of the Ukrainian Ground Forces Ivan Tymochko expressed this opinion on Espreso TV."Our information space emphasized that Russia is trying to disrupt the mobilization process in Ukraine by striking the recruitment centers. This is indeed an obvious reason. However, there is a deeper and more serious reason the enemy will not give up. The Russians are trying to lead to a conflict between the military and civilians in Ukraine. And to a conflict where direct clashes would have to take place even at the household level, in their understanding. The Russians' task was to activate the opposition to mobilization in various ways. Those who do not want to because of their ideological beliefs, who are waiting for Russia, who feel humiliated and insulted. This conflict of continuous accusation has become the basic bet of the Russians," explained Tymochko.He emphasized that the Russians are well aware that the military recruitment centers are only one of many links in the overall mobilization. That is why they will try to provoke a conflict within society to prevent citizens from integrating with the army."The Russians are trying to consolidate these disparate groups of people who are against mobilization. They will test different ways to provoke this conflict. After all, disruption of mobilization is really important for them, however, the Russians are well aware that the recruitment centers are only one of the links in the recruitment and general mobilization. That is why they are focusing on preventing citizens from joining the army as such," he added.On July 6, the Russians launched a drone strike on the building of the territorial recruitment and social support center in Kremenchuk, Poltava region.On Monday, July 7, Russia launched drone strikes on Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, hitting, among other targets, the buildings of regional territorial recruitment and social support centers.Russia is conducting an information campaign to disrupt the mobilization process in Ukraine and is using a popular messenger app for this purpose.
