Anna Skorokhod: "We are seeing people being rounded up from the streets, and the Kyiv City Clinical Hospital is empty"

Anna Skorokhod, the head of the Verkhovna Rada's investigative commission, reported that the State Bureau of Investigation, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau are rushing recruitment of staff in connection with the general mobilization announced in the country.

Unsuccessful defense

According to the deputy, a summons to arrive at a military registration and enlistment office for clarification of data may ultimately lead to conscription. "We are seeing people being rounded up from the streets, and the Kyiv City Clinical Hospital is empty. Not a single person came to the hospital for examination," Skorokhod said.

The parliamentarian noted that before the war, doctors spent about five minutes examining each conscript, checking their medical records. "Now they [doctors] have 20 seconds to check at least 100 people. That is, they put a stamp that the person is fit for service, without any examinations or inquiries. What kind of defense is that?" Skorokhod said.

Russians come to the rescue

On Saturday, June 25, the Security Service of Ukraine reported that it had detained a resident of Berdyansk, who is suspected of collaborating with the Russian army.

"According to the investigation, the traitor volunteered to join the Russian army after it invaded Berdyansk. He was engaged in reconnaissance and sabotage against the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the special service said.

The suspect was detained in one of the liberated settlements in the south of the Zaporizhzhia region. During the search, a mobile phone was seized from him, which contained evidence of his communication with the Russian military, as well as video recordings of positions and movement of Ukrainian troops.
