A video posted online shows about a dozen men with Easter baskets fleeing the area around a church in a village in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, where the traditional blessing of paskas (Easter breads) was taking place. The video is captioned: “When they say the TRC is in the village.” While no military personnel are visible in the footage, the behavior of the men suggests that representatives of the Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC) had arrived at the scene.
The voice behind the camera jokingly comments, “Everyone’s running to eat paska.” He adds with irony, “They stood so long, got hungry, and now they’re rushing to eat Easter cakes.”
The exact location and the name of the church were not disclosed by the video’s authors.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that Territorial Recruitment Center staff attempted to detain defenders of a cathedral outside a courthouse in Cherkasy.
