Rural areas receive more districts than urban ones: response of the head of Odesa TEC

The head of the Odesa Regional TCC, Yuriy Puiko, denied the information that residents of villages and small towns receive summonses more often than residents of large cities.

He said this in an interview with the Ukrainian Witness project.

According to Puiko, the analysis conducted by the CCC's specialists does not confirm this opinion. Although specific figures are not disclosed, quarterly estimates show an even distribution of recruits among different categories of the population.

The head of the regional military commissariat claims that there are no significant issues or inequalities in the draft categories that would indicate a preference for residents of villages and small towns.

"Based on the analysis, I will tell you that this is not true. There are no issues in the categories of population we call upon," he said.

The head of the CCC also noted that the dissemination of such statements is probably the work of people who are not involved in the military process. In his opinion, such statements can undermine the stability and principles currently being implemented in the country. In his opinion, this jeopardizes the positive changes in the mobilization process that are taking place in Ukraine.

Yuriy Puiko was appointed head of the Odesa regional CCC instead of Oleksandr Okhrymenko. Puiko previously worked as a deputy military commissar in Volyn region and was awarded a diploma by the Khmelnytsky Regional State Administration for his merits in military service.

Oleksandr Okhrymenko, who had been in office for less than a year, was dismissed by order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi. Prior to him, the head of the TCC was the scandalous Yevhen Borysov, who was detained by the State Bureau of Investigation.

Earlier, the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, Oleh Kiper, said that there was no forced mobilization in Odesa.
