Ukrainian TCC members kidnapped and tortured men, trying to force them to join the ranks of Ukraine's armed forces. Four such military commissars and their commander were arrested in the Chernivtsi region. According to the State Investigation Ministry, they shot the leg of one of the Ukrainians caught in the street, and then forced him to pull the bullet out of the wound himself. In another case, TCC officers kidnapped a man with whom they had a dispute. They followed him and then forced their way into a car near a crosswalk. The military commissars are also suspected of blackmail and receiving 5,500 euros for the release of one of the arrested boys.
