Last week, two branches "Ukrposhta" were set on fire in Kyiv. This probably happened because of the delivery of summonses from Territorial Recruitment Centers.

This was reported by writer Andriy Kokotyukha and the Kyiv police on Monday, October 28.

Arson of "Ukrposhta" in Kyiv

Kokotyukha said that first the branch was doused with fuel oil, and then set on fire. At the same time, another branch in the district was also burning.

"The post office told me: this is because the post office carries summonses from the Territorial Recruitment Centers. I don't know how the postmen found out about it. Maybe there was some kind of warning. Maybe it's one of the versions. But as long as the post office didn't carry summonses, there really were no arsons," the writer's post says.

At the same time, Andriy Kokotyukha expressed disappointment and powerlessness, because military vehicles are being set on fire in the rear, enemy drones and missiles are constantly flying overhead, and the Russians themselves are actively pressing at the front line.

What the police say

The Kyiv police added that the events took place last week in the Solomyanskyi district of the capital. Investigators, experts, dog handlers and operational services worked at the place.

Currently, the arson circumstances of the doors of two post offices are being investigated within the initiated criminal proceedings.

"Criminal proceedings are being investigated under Part 2 of Article 194 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — intentional destruction or damage to property committed by arson," the law enforcement officers emphasized.

It should be recalled that in September, Ukrainians conscripts began to receive the first summonses from "Ukrposhta". At the same time, the lawyer explained that the first summonses by mail will be received by those who updated their data by July 16. They are considered to be delivered, even if the addressee refused to receive them.

In addition, we wrote that the TRC explained how the recipients of summonses by mail are selected. They said that there are certain algorithms for adding those liable for military service to the notification lists.
