Ukraine police chief admits mobilization fears hurt trust

The head of Ukraine's National Police, Ivan Vygovsky, has admitted that public trust in law enforcement has been severely damaged by their involvement in the country's mobilization efforts. He stated that citizens are now afraid to call the police for fear that they or their loved ones will be targeted for conscription. Vygovsky directly linked the negative public sentiment to police working alongside the Territorial Recruitment Centers (TCC). This admission highlights the profound social strain and institutional challenges caused by Ukraine's ongoing war effort.
