No, this is not about the resistance of the Ukrainian state against the Russian one, or even of the Ukrainian people against the Russian army. Our friends from the "Assembly" - Kharkov are covering the development of the resistance of the Ukrainian people against their "own" rulers, who are sacrificing them for their own interests . ---- In the latest survey they conducted, two trends are noticeable: ---- cases of organized and firm resistance are isolated in certain regions
resistance to state terror begins to take place under a nationalist bannerIt is difficult to explain these phenomena from afar. Personally, I can only assume that various factors contribute - the strong pressure of the authorities on the "impure" ethnicities; the very ethnicity of the resisters; the failures at the front; the proximity to the front line or the border... But undoubtedly the assessment of the comrades that the ideological capitulation of the majority of the anarchist movement to war propaganda contributes to the ideological capitulation of the oppressed classes to nationalism is credible.

The long, hot summer officially ended a month ago, but its echoes continue to reverberate across the country. As winter approaches - promising to be the harshest since 1991 - hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people are cornered and driven to such a state of utter despair that they no longer think about the consequences.
There are no positive prospects: if you are not killed on the spot, you will most likely be imprisoned - and in all likelihood no one will even know your name. There is no international solidarity; even if your name becomes known, none of the foreign anti-militarists reading this review will show up at embassies or other government missions to support you. All that remains is the desperate desire to sell your life dearly.
Last fall, we noted that direct anti-war actions in Ukraine were concentrated in certain areas. This summer, this trend intensified.
For example, late in the evening of June 14, on Balzak Boulevard in Troyeshchyna, a tough neighborhood in Kiev, a mass clash broke out between patrol police and officers of the Territorial Conscription Center (TCC) after an attempt to forcibly detain a man of military age. According to the police, the driver violated traffic rules and tried to escape; during his detention, he hit a patrol officer and was later found to have also violated mobilization legislation. A crowd of several hundred people gathered at the scene of the incident, chanting "Shame!" and partially blocking traffic to obstruct the officers. Both sides used tear gas, and protesters damaged a company car. Eventually, the detained man was successfully taken away and transported to the TCC:
On July 29, the Kyiv City Committee reported another high-profile incident: during a military medical examination at the Podilskyi District Committee, a young man, forcibly abducted from the street, fatally stabbed a surgeon. She was 65 years old. According to the prosecutor's office, the 31-year-old man asked for a thorough examination, complained of a toothache, and asked to be released for a few days. "After learning that he was declared fit for service, the man inflicted about 17 chaotic stab wounds on the doctor's chest, neck, and arms. He was carrying the knife in his bag. The woman died on the spot from her injuries." After this news, many hoped that the butchers in white coats would finally - at least from time to time - remember the Hippocratic oath. It seems that is not the case; the rest will continue to scoff at requests for a diagnosis until they, too, come across something sharp and pointed.
Vinnytsia has been a center of resistance to the dictatorship for over a year. On July 6, police in this regional center stopped a bus driver and sent him to mobilization. In response, his colleagues specifically, drivers on routes 1A, 2A, and 2B organized a strike, refusing to operate their routes for several hours. The next day, the regional traffic police announced that the driver had been fired because no military unit was willing to accept him for service; the routes were subsequently resumed. On July 8, in the village of Tivriv, a deserter from the army fought with an axe with officers of the Military Law Enforcement Service, according to the service's press center. According to reports, the man began to resist when asked to show his documents. Three other individuals soon joined the fight and damaged a company car. The service then called in reinforcements from the Scorpion rapid response unit; Meanwhile, the man armed himself with an axe and injured two members of the search team. With the help of reinforcements, he was detained and handed over to the police. Two injured people received medical attention and were hospitalized:
On July 25, a draft violator pulled out a folding knife and stabbed one of the conscription agents while he was being escorted to the conscription center. The victim received medical attention and a criminal case was opened against the self-defender. The Vinnitsa Regional Public Order Committee reported the incident, without specifying the exact location. On August 18, in Vinnitsa, two masked men armed with pepper spray reported that they had rescued a man from mobilizers after he had been forcibly put into a minibus. The same institution reported that on September 4, several civilian cars blocked their service car carrying a kidnapped man; then a group of people got out of the cars, dragged the conscript out, and inflicted injuries on him, which led to his hospitalization. Details of the two incidents are very scarce.
On July 30, a court in Vinnitsa convicted a local resident who on April 4 of this year tried to escape from TCC officers on a bicycle. After being stopped, he pulled out a knife and wounded two servicemen. One of them received a penetrating stab wound to the left side of the chest, and the other received a non-penetrating wound to the chest and a stab wound to the shoulder joint. Forensic medical examinations classified all of these injuries as minor bodily harm. The defendant fully admitted his guilt and was sentenced to 3 years in prison.
On June 14, in the village of Tiranivka, near the city of Khmelnytskyi, two TCC employees were injured while trying to conduct business on private property. One serviceman suffered a closed jaw fracture and the other suffered soft tissue injuries; both received medical care without requiring hospitalization. A man born in 1983 and three unidentified individuals also damaged a Volkswagen Transporter T5 van. The police have opened a criminal case, but there is no information about the detention of those involved.
On July 28, in the village of Yizhivtsi, Chernivtsi region, during a search in a criminal case for illegal possession of weapons, according to police, a man grabbed a hunting rifle and opened fire. Two criminal investigation officers received gunshot wounds and were hospitalized, the shooter fled. A whole police operation was launched in the region to search for him, involving special forces, dog handlers and drone operators. On August 8, a man was found and detained in a room where dry grass was stored. His name is Valery Miglei, 54 years old:
Do you remember the photos of a tractor pulling a Russian tank - distributed by social-chauvinists at the beginning of the war as evidence of the "people's war" on the Ukrainian side? They won't tell you that this technique is also used against internal aggressors. On March 28, 2025, near the village of Zagreblya (in the Sarny district of the Rivne region), 68-year-old pensioner Yuriy Kukharets twice rammed his tractor into the front of a serviceman's Nissan X-Trail and then rammed it from the side, trying to push the car into a ditch. Then he jumped out of the cab, grabbed a wooden board and hit the platoon commander in the left arm. The officer received a closed, displaced fracture of the ulna - an injury classified as moderately severe. The attacker also hit another serviceman several times in the torso, although no serious injuries followed. In court, Kukharets fully admitted his guilt, expressed remorse and apologized to the servicemen. On June 4, 2026, a local court sentenced him to 3 years of restricted freedom with a one-year probation period.
On July 2, in the city of Kamenskoye (formerly Dneprodzerzhinsk) in the Dnepropetrovsk region, a 50-year-old man detonated a grenade while representatives of the TCC and the police were checking military registration documents. A police officer, a serviceman from the district TCC, and the man who threw the grenade received injuries of varying severity; all were hospitalized. Two days later, in the regional center of Dnipro, passersby tried to intervene as a man was forcibly put into a minibus. Initially, they tried to save the one standing in front of the minibus; shots were fired and tear gas was used. Subsequently, stones were thrown at the TCC minibus and the accompanying passenger car. Unfortunately, the attempt to save the man was unsuccessful.
On July 16, the National Police of Ukraine reported that during a sanctioned search in the Dnipropetrovsk region, a man who had been absent from his military unit without permission since September 2024 opened targeted fire, wounding two special forces officers. He subsequently took his own life by shooting himself in the head. The wounded were hospitalized; their lives are not in danger. The search was conducted as part of a criminal investigation into fraud and migrant smuggling. He probably saw the war and realized that he had to leave and help other men avoid the same fate.
On June 30, local social media reported that a 17-year-old girl in Odessa stabbed a mobilizer during a confrontation related to the kidnapping of her boyfriend. She and her dog were forced into a van, during which she stabbed one of the kidnappers. The 37-year-old TCC employee suffered a laceration to his right shoulder and was hospitalized.
On July 4, a conflict broke out in the resort village of Zatoka, in the southern part of the Odessa region, after a complaint about Russian music being played in the establishment. Serviceman Sergiy Pikhura was hospitalized with a concussion, a head wound, and a broken nose and arm; he was hit with an electric stove and a metal rebar, and also strangled. A criminal investigation has been opened on charges of intentional infliction of moderate bodily harm. Ironically, the song Silence Saves by the Ruvson project was being played during the battle...
On July 5, in the Podolsk district of the Odessa region, a serviceman used an explosive device against police officers who had stopped him to check his documents. They had stopped the moped driver for violating traffic rules. It was found that the 56-year-old driver had gone into hiding; he then pulled out a grenade and threatened to use it. An explosion soon followed, injuring two police officers and the offender. The press service of the regional police reported the incident. On August 2, the press service of the police in the same region reported that a passerby in Odessa fired several shots at officers of a regional traffic police station while they were conducting "public awareness activities." Four officers were injured in the shooting. A 32-year-old man was detained as a suspect, and the weapon was seized for forensic examination. On September 26, in the city of Belgorod-Dniester, someone stabbed a recruitment agent during "notification measures" and then fled the scene. The employee was hospitalized and his condition is stable. The Odessa Regional TCC did not provide further details.
On August 5, 2025, on the outskirts of Izmail, a patrol police officer tried to stop a moped driver for violating traffic rules, according to the investigation. However, he did not stop, abruptly changed direction and tried to escape. After losing control of the vehicle, the man fell and began shooting at the patrol car and the police officers. Mihaylo Soroka, a 45-year-old senior lieutenant of the police, received a fatal wound. However, he managed to return fire and wound the gunman, which allowed him to be detained. The Prosecutor General's Office adds that in 2014, the detainee purchased a 9-mm non-lethal (traumatic) revolver, which he subsequently converted into a lethal firearm. He also hand-made 13 cartridges and stored the weapon and ammunition at home. He cited fear of mobilization as the reason for the shooting. On July 2, the court sentenced the shooter to life in prison.
It is no secret that our native Kharkiv region officially leads the country in "attacks on the TCC" (whatever that means), despite the rapid disappearance of the population ; however, mass riots, such as those observed in other regions, have not yet been observed here. The tendency to unite to defend our lives and streets - as in 1918-1919 against Petliura's pogroms - is only just beginning here (we even published a detailed speech by a Kharkiv ambulance driver about how this is possible to organize). On June 25, in the city of Kharkiv, a man wanted for evading mobilization wounded two police officers with a knife during a document check and was soon detained. The wounded were hospitalized, and the suspect has numerous previous convictions, the press service of the regional police reported. The next day, the Kharkiv Regional TCC reported the murder of a member of an "informative group" in the city - without specifying the exact location - stating that a man who had stopped on the street also used a knife and fled. On June 30, the regional police published a wanted notice for the suspect: "On June 25, at about 12:00, an unidentified person inflicted two stab wounds in the abdomen of a 45-year-old man on Mekhanizatori Street in the Saltyvskyi district of Kharkiv. After committing the crime, the attacker fled the scene. The victim was taken to a medical facility, where she died from penetrating stab wounds." There is still no information about the detention of the city ninja.
On July 12, in the village of Orelka, in the same region, a 34-year-old repairman threw rebar at a vehicle that was moving away with a kidnapped passerby. The flying metal hit a TPK officer in the head; he was urgently transported to a military hospital in serious condition, suffering from an open head injury, brain contusion, and multiple fractures of the skull and facial bones. The suspect is being held in custody. On July 13, the regional police reported that in Kharkiv, "during a check of military registration documents, a group of men actively resisted representatives of the regional TPK, used pepper spray, and damaged a company car." The "pharaohs" who arrived at the scene detained five people and served them with notices on suspicion of disturbing public order (punishable by up to 4 years in prison). The court ordered them to be placed under night house arrest. Prosecutor's office spokeswoman Anna Kolesnikova said the conscription group initially stopped two men eligible for military service, after which three servicemen - two from the army and one from the National Guard - arrived to help them. She said one of the TRC servicemen was injured:
On the morning of July 21, patrol officers and TCC officers attempted to check the documents of a fearless samurai near the Kharkiv bus station. The video shows him pulling out a meat cleaver; then running away after chasing the group away. Two days later, he was detained during a document check. According to police, he injured a TCC member during the scuffle and was himself shot in the leg by a police officer. The regional TCC claims that not just one, but three of their colleagues were injured.
Around August 1, another video emerged showing a crowd on Aleksandrovsky Prospekt in Kharkiv blocking a minibus, capturing one of the manhunters and exchanging him for a kidnapped man. The authorities covered up the incident. In this depressing industrial area near the Kharkiv Tractor Plant, the "invincibility buses" run more frequently than city buses...
Night detention in Balakleya
Ruslan Galimzanov, an unemployed resident of Kharkiv, who, fleeing from poachers in the spring, threw two airsoft grenades at them, fired two shots with a starter pistol, and then stabbed the person who caught up with him in the stomach with a knife, received a three-year sentence with a one-year probationary period. The court handed down this sentence on August 11. Meanwhile, on the evening of September 16 in the city of Pervomaysky, a 57-year-old local resident inflicted multiple knife wounds on a member of a TRC team conducting "mobilization activities" and was immediately detained. In addition, on the night of June 8, an attempted robbery of a store in Balakleya escalated into a vehicle chase. A 26-year-old resident of Izyumsky District, who had previous convictions for serious crimes, threw an unidentified explosive device at a police vehicle and opened fire on his pursuers, causing them acoustic trauma. He was immediately detained and faces up to 15 years in prison. According to regional police, another man opened fire on police officers in Lubny, Poltava region. On August 14, they were reportedly checking a 39-year-old local man while investigating a crime. At one point, he tried to escape and fired at them. One officer was shot and is receiving medical attention; the shooter has been detained. Early last year, Vadim Kuzub, also from Lubny, shot and killed a police guard in Pyriatyn, the same region. Vadim's case is currently in court; he is being held without bail.
However, the main battles of this summer took place in the "most nationalist" regions of Western Ukraine. Like the same month in Kharkiv, the social struggle in Lviv could reach a qualitatively new stage, with the military supporting the civilian population against state terror: of the five detained and held in custody for 60 days after clashes with the TCC and police in Lviv on the evening of July 8, three turned out to be servicemen. The youngest and one of the older suspects were in voluntary desertion at the time, the third serviceman was on leave (according to reports from the Ukrainian Airborne Assault Forces). According to the investigation, 23-year-old Oleg Gavrilov hit the deputy chief of the district police department in the face and sprayed tear gas in the eyes of an inspector. His lawyer says that he sincerely repents of what he did and does not deny his guilt. Regarding two 28-year-old detainees - along with two civilians aged 21 and 45 - the Security Service of Ukraine stated: "These individuals involved were the most active participants in the incident. They blocked the path of a military vehicle, jumped on it and damaged it." Footage shows a crowd of several hundred people surrounding a vehicle, shouting "Shame!" and "Fuck!"
Several young men jumped on the car, stomped on it and hit it with heavy objects. The TCC vehicle was subsequently overturned. There were numerous proposals to rename Chervona Kalina Boulevard - where this happened - to Drop Dodger Boulevard. General Kiril Budanov commented: "If today you tear your clothes and beat a serviceman from your own army, think about who will defend you tomorrow against an enemy army that will do the same - beat you and tear your clothes." It seems that he is simply not aware of our readers like GNIP and that they are ready to deter any imperial invasion, even if Ukraine is left without a single soldier...
Historically, in the 1980s, apartments in Sykhiv were allocated mainly to workers from Lviv's large factories and migrants from the surrounding region, which reinforced its reputation as a "proletarian" suburb. However, the area is still far from proletarian class radicalism: after the clashes, far-right veterans and repressive authorities quickly forced young people to apologize on camera and chant in unison "Glory to the CC!" Dmytro Korchinsky, the leader of some Russian "anarcho"-fascists, explicitly called for "a complete clearing of the area with the help of CC forces" and the mobilization of "ALL men of suitable age in Sykhiv." One of the adults publicly promised to join the armed forces, and an active-duty soldier on leave also apologized. However, this practice worked both ways: when a month later, an employee of a recruitment center in Odessa grabbed a 13-year-old boy by the throat and began to choke him right next to a van - allegedly because he had thrown stones at him - local combat veterans caught him and forced him to apologize.
On the evening of August 21, on General Chuprinka Street in Lviv, a passerby became aggressive during a document check, pulled out a knife and stabbed a military officer in the neck. A police officer shot the "attacker" and detained him. The junior sergeant from the KPR died at the scene from his wound. He is 55-year-old Alexander Bodnar; the name of the 25-year-old suspect is unknown. This is the third such death in the city since last December:
On September 17, in the city of Nikolaev (the same Lviv region), an explosive device was thrown from the passenger seat of a Daewoo Lanos car as it drove past the open gates of the Stryi district police station. A 55-year-old serviceman stationed at the facility was injured and hospitalized in moderate condition. The Security Service of Ukraine classified the attack as a terrorist act, and law enforcement agencies immediately identified and detained two men suspected of involvement in the explosion.
At the end of the summer, the Ternopil police reported a large-scale riot: "When individuals who could avoid military service were found, a conflict arose between representatives of the TC and local residents. The event occurred on August 25 at around 8:00 p.m. on Les Kurbas Street. During a conversation with one of the men, citizens began to approach the official car. They began to hit the vehicle and got into an argument with TC employees. TC employees received bodily injuries." According to local social media, there was one mobilizer in the car who did not manage to escape. He was pushed back by the arriving police. After the police left, the residents organized a procession . Judging by the video, the protest was mainly attended by young people who chanted Nazi slogans such as "Glory to Ukraine" and "Ukraine above all." The removal of the pot from the head is happening at different speeds in different regions:
On the evening of August 20, in Lutsk, a group of about 30 civilians damaged a military vehicle and beat its officers. The clash took place on the street "Defenders of Ukraine" (sic!). As a result of the fight, two military servicemen received injuries, including multiple bruises and abrasions. It is noteworthy that one of the protesters threw pieces of glass at the servicemen. All the windows and headlights of the service van were broken, and all the tires were slashed. In addition, a radio station, a luggage camera, and the vehicle keys were stolen from the van. There are no reports of civilian casualties.
The White Sun Telegram channel posted this photo of the participants, explaining that "youth is rebelling against the bureaucratization of street movement" and "against the merging of patriotism with the subordination of the oligarchy." In fact, these guys are greeting everyone who has been looking at our reviews for years as a source of aesthetic satisfaction, rather than a guide to action. More than two years ago, we clearly warned : if talk of "there is no war, but a class war" remains an empty formality that never leaves the blogosphere, sooner or later someone will replace it with "there is no war, but a racial war." Just yesterday, a court in Lviv sentenced Vyacheslav Zinchenko - another "autonomous revolutionary racist" - to life in prison for the murder in 2024 of old-school fascist Irina Farion. From Zinchenko's point of view, her incitement to hatred against Russian-speaking Ukrainians undermines white unity. He did not admit his guilt, although throughout the entire trial the prosecution never substantially formulated its response to the prosecution's position.
With the possibility of fleeing the country and even leaving the military unit without authorization at its lowest point this year since the war began, the potential for protests to erupt into armed confrontation is increasingly likely. At the same time, with Ukraine located in the backyard of the EU and Russia, without inspiring examples of anarchist struggle in more developed countries (at least in the form of successful campaigns for imprisoned Ukrainian defectors, if victory over the NATO proxy is not yet possible), there is little chance that the spontaneous anti-state struggle of workers and youth will acquire an ideological character - and even less chance that its ideology will be less reactionary than that of the current ruling far-right regime.
Sure, you can continue watching the blue-and-yellow Misfortune Island with a bucket of popcorn in your hands. Just don't sulk later when NATO sends you to war - to replace your dead neighbors and classmates.
