The commander of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Alexander Pavlyuk, said that criticism of the actions of TCC workers does not help Ukraine win the war against Russia. He wrote that society has reached the point of “harassing the military from the TCC and providing moral support for evading the defense of Ukraine.”

There are many videos on various social networks with content taken out of context. We are often reproached: “It’s your own fault, you don’t change!” This is wrong. We change, we see our shortcomings and work every day to become better,” Pavlyuk emphasized
Pavlyuk says that from queues at the TCC and the memes “how to serve – everyone is sick, but how to fight – everyone is healthy,” in Ukraine they have come to bullying the military from the TCC and moral support for evading the defense of Ukraine.
The highest aerobatics of the art of war is to destroy the plans of the enemy and defeat him without using your troops in battle. And judging by the last months, the Russians very skillfully use the ancient Chinese stratagems of warfare,” writes Pavlyuk.
The general reproached the media and bloggers for their “lack of interest” in the topics of the TCC’s work, the specifics of military service, the need to fulfill military duty, and actually accused them of having a negative impact on public opinion.
A separate topic is the attitude towards TCC military personnel. How did it get to the point where it became acceptable to treat people who have gone through hell, lost their health, and fought as enemies and call them “people-catchers”? refusal of men from their constitutional duty – the defense of Ukraine? Not to mention the fact that all the shots like “packing in beads” do not contain what exactly in the behavior of the characters in the material led to such consequences. There are a lot of videos with content taken out of context on various social networks: YouTube, Facebook or Tik-Tok,” Pavlyuk is indignant.
The general called on bloggers and media to support the army in the changes being introduced.
We change, we see our shortcomings and work every day to become better and clearer. There is a lot of work ahead, and without your help it will be much more difficult for us. After all, only together we can withstand this invasion and, finally, Victory. Break the enemy’s alliances, divide his battle formations – teaches the ancient Chinese strategy of war. Contrasting the army with civilians is one of its points. Therefore, before sharing “a blatant story about rights violations,” it’s worth asking yourself: who does this really help win the war?,” concludes Pavlyuk.
Ukrainians received 1,257 verdicts in court cases of evasion from military service in 2023. The defendants received both suspended and real prison sentences of up to five years, Opendatabot reports.
The first peak of punishments for evaders occurred in 2015. At that time, 1,596 sentences were handed down. Then their number gradually decreased, reaching eight completed cases in 2021. However, already in the first year of the Great War, such cases increased 20 times – up to 249 sentences. The number of cases increased fivefold last year to 1,257.
60 criminal proceedings ended in real imprisonment.
120 sentences against Uhilians have already been handed down in January 2024. This is already 54% of the total number of sentences under this article for the entire 2022.
