A similar incident occurred in May of this year in the Savran community of the Podilsky district: a man, who was being sought for violating military registration rules, inflicted numerous knife wounds on members of the Territorial Defense Forces (TTC). Previously, verdicts were also issued in Odesa against nine participants of TTC alerting groups for illegal detentions and torture of men.
