Ukraine: mobilized man, rejected by military units, was beaten to death by a TCC representative right on the bus during the “delivery of mobilization resources” — what the court decided – SUD

A serviceman of the TCC dragged the body of the mobilized man out of the bus, threw it on the parade ground of the capital's collection point in the DVRZ area, and went about his business.

The Pechersk District Court of Kyiv has kept in custody a serviceman of the guard platoon of the Kyiv City TCC and SP Collection Point, who is suspected of exceeding authority while performing an official duty during the “delivery of mobilization resources” (as stated in court rulings).

According to criminal case materials, on May 7, 2025, a Kyiv resident, N., was detained on the street by police officers and the TCC and SP due to violation of military registration rules and being listed as wanted.

That same day, the man underwent a military medical commission, which found him fit for military service.

After that, he ended up at the Kyiv City TCC and SP Collection Point, located in the Darnytskyi district of the capital at 17A Zroshuvalna Street.

Already on May 8, the man was sent to one of the training centers, but the center refused to "process" the mobilized man—as it turned out, he had alcohol addiction, a hip injury, and varicose veins. Therefore, he was returned to the capital's collection point.

However, on May 9, the man was included in a new group of mobilized individuals and, accompanied by two officers and several servicemen, was sent to a training center near the city of Starychi in the Lviv region.

But this training center also refused to “process” him—for the same reasons as before.

Thus, the mobilized man had to be returned to Kyiv. There were many individuals rejected by the training center.

Late in the evening of May 9, the major—the group leader—ordered the bus driver to stop near a supermarket so the mobilized men could buy something. The major personally allowed N. to buy a can of Revo energy drink, although that drink contains a certain amount of alcohol.

At night, N. drank the energy drink and began acting inappropriately—running around the bus, talking loudly, arguing with TCC representatives, disturbing others' sleep, and refusing to follow orders.

As a result, after refusing to obey the major's order to calm down, one of the TCC servicemen struck N. in the face at least three times. When N. fell, the serviceman shocked him 3–4 times with a stun gun, then grabbed his head and began smashing it against the floor.

The beating didn’t end there: the TCC representative began kicking N. in the head and stomping on his chest.

The beating occurred several times throughout almost the entire journey back to Kyiv, and the officers did not react to the actions of their subordinate.

After the bus with the mobilized men arrived at 17A Zroshuvalna Street, the TCC serviceman simply dragged N. out of the bus by his legs and threw him onto the parade ground of the collection point.

After some time, someone noticed the man lying in the open. However, when the medics arrived, all they could do was declare N. dead.

According to the forensic expert’s conclusion, N. died from combined head and chest trauma, rib fractures, and internal organ injuries.
