Territorial Center of Recruitment and Social Support

According to Ukrainian resolution "On the approval of the Regulation on territorial centers of recruitment and social support", local TCRs are formed, liquidated, reorganized by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The direct management of the TCR and control over their activities is carried out by the relevant operational commands, and the general command of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, which coordinates the main issues of the TCR's activities with their relevant structural subdivisions of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defense. Territorial centers of recruitment and social support of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Kyiv, Sevastopol, and Ukrainian oblasts are legal entities under public law, with each having independent balance sheets registration accounts in the Treasury authorities.{{Cite web |title=Про затвердження Положення про територіальні центри комплектування та соціальної підтримки |trans-title=On approval of the Regulation on territorial centers of recruitment and social support |url=https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/154-2022-%D0%BF#Text |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=Офіційний вебпортал парламенту України |language=uk}}

In order to ensure the fulfillment of the tasks and specified functions of each TCR, structural subdivisions (departments, branches, groups, services) are formed within them. Each TCR conducts activities in accordance to the provisions with each structural division, which is approved the head of the district territorial center of recruitment and social support. Regulations on district territorial centers of staffing and social support are approved by the heads of their respective TCR.

The TCR is tasked with managing the conscription and military service of citizens, engaging in mobilization training of employees for mobilization civilians, managing military records of conscripts and reservists on the territory of the relevant administrative-territorial unit, the selection of candidates for contract military service, with participation in the selection of citizens for military reserve service, the preparation and mobilization of human and transport resources, ensuring the organization of social and legal protection of conscripts to the Armed Forces, managing veterans of military service and pensioners from among military personnel and members of their families, and participation in military and patriotic education. The personnel of the TCR, as well as the transport and material and technical means of the said TCR are maintained under the budget of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The number of TCR staff as of 2023 reached over 200, and were distributed among four operational commands: "North", "South", "West", and "East".{{Cite web |title=ТЦК |url=https://www.mil.gov.ua/content/armament/tro/kontakty_tcksp.docx |access-date=15 October 2024 |website=Ministerstvo Oborony Ukrayiny}} However, some of them have separate territorial subdivisions— so-called "departments"— together with which the territorial total number of such formations approaches or exceeds 300.{{Cite web |date=2017-10-01 |title=Контакти ТЦК та СП (військкоматів) |trans-title=Contacts of the TCR and SS (military commissars) |url=https://pravo-ua.com/service/solar-panels-installation/ |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=pravo-ua.com |language=uk}}{{Cite web |date=2022-11-17 |title=Сили територіальної оборони ЗСУ: офіційна сторінка СТрО Збройних Сил України, тероборона ЗСУ України |trans-title=Territorial defense forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: the official page of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Territorial Defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine |url=https://tro.mil.gov.ua/ |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=Сили територіальної оборони ЗСУ |language=uk}}

Despite this, apart from cosmetic changes in the name, he did not change anything at all in the functioning of the former military commissariats, which negatively affected the image of the entire reform. Criticisms were levied against how the move left such factors as the paper record of conscripted citizens and conscripts in addition to maintaining a unified state register of conscripts, that until now for the newly named territorial centers of support and social protection was considered an additional option in functioning, and not vice versa.{{Cite web |title=Про внесення змін до деяких законодавчих актів України щодо удосконалення окремих питань виконання військового обов'язку та ведення військового обліку |trans-title=On amendments to some legislative acts of Ukraine regarding the improvement of certain issues of the performance of military duty and the maintenance of military records |url=https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/1357-20 |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=Офіційний вебпортал парламенту України |language=uk}}

On February 23, 2022, the TCR completely replaced the former system of military commissariats and replaced all paper records of persons with electronic records based on the "unified state register of conscripts, conscripts and reservists" already present at the legislative level.

Criticism came from the secretary of the Defense Committee of the Verkhovna Rada, Roman Kostenko, who noted multiple cases where defense enterprise employees and people with vision problems were forcefully mobilized. He emphasized that healthy and motivated people should be drafted into the army, and not those who managed to be "caught" by recruitment officers.

Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets condemned the actions of TCR employees who detained citizens or demanded documents from them in the middle of the street. He emphasized that the employees of military commissions do not have the right to such actions against civilians.

Criticism towards the TCR and its officers are also often related to cases of wrongdoing and errors in documentation. Lawyer Roman Kichka noted that for many years, the military commissariats had incorrectly drawn up documents and incorrectly referred to the requirements of the law, which led to illegal fines against citizens who had updated their data in the Reserve+ application and appeared at regional centers to clarify data.{{Cite web |title=ТЦК штрафують військовозобов'язаних, які оновили дані в "Резерв+", - нардеп |trans-title=TCR fines conscripts who updated their data in "Reserve+", People's Deputy |url=https://www.unian.ua/society/tck-shtrafuyut-viyskovozobov-yazanih-yaki-onovili-dani-v-rezerv-nardep-12714372.html |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=www.unian.ua |language=uk}}

Ukrainian social media and information spaces shared several reports of conflicts between TCR employees and citizens. For example, in Baranivka, Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukrainian civilians protested against the TCR due to their involvement in the death of Serhii Kovalchuk. Kovalchuk was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after being forcefully detained to the TCR, and later died. The TCR claimed that the man had abused alcohol, which caused him to suffer from an epileptic seizure.{{Cite web |title=Росія використовує скандали довкола ТЦК в Україні, проводячи свою ІПСО |trans-title=Russia uses the scandals surrounding the TCR in Ukraine, conducting its IPSO |url=https://www.radiosvoboda.org/a/mobilizacja-vijna-zachyst-skandal/32993395.html |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=www.radiosvoboda.org}}

On June 11, 2023 in Odesa, TCR employees detained a citizen who refused to provide registration documents and took him to the TCR, from where he called an ambulance.

News outlets reported on Nina Tronenko's statements that her 22-year-old son was detained at the train station in Uzhhorod and forced to sign documents for referral to military training, despite the fact that he was declared unfit for military service in 2019 during peacetime.
