Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has commented on the killing of a TRC (Territorial Recruitment Center) serviceman in Lviv, stressing that anyone who kills a soldier, at the front or in the rear, acts against Ukraine.

"The mobilization system needs changes, and they will be implemented in the near future. But no systemic problem can justify murder," the ministry said in a Telegram post.

The ministry expressed condolences to the relatives of the killed serviceman and noted that inevitable punishment awaits the killer.

As previously reported, on April 2 at approximately 14:15, information was received on the 102 emergency line that an unknown individual had stabbed a TRC serviceman in the neck on Patona Street in Lviv during notification activities. The victim died in hospital from his injuries.

A customs officer at the Lviv customs office was subsequently identified as the suspect detained in connection with the killing. The information was confirmed by the State Customs Service of Ukraine.
