"This concerns two men aged 21 and 28 who organized and incited those present to commit illegal acts on the night of July 9 in Sykhiv. In addition, they personally took an active part in damaging an official SUV belonging to the service members of the Sykhiv District TRC and SS (Territorial Recruitment Center and Social Support) – blocking its movement, jumping on the vehicle, and later overturning it," the report on the Telegram channel of the Office of the Prosecutor General noted on Saturday.
The third man, a 45-year-old resident of Lviv, as noted by the agency, "provoked a conflict with a TRC service member, shoved him, and attempted to tear off his military uniform while verbally abusing him."
