Servicemen have the right to protection in case of threat to life
The ministry reminded that the TCR is a restricted access facility, so in case of a threat to the lives of servicemen, they will open fire to kill.
In addition, the OC "West" said that the soldiers who were at the guard post on the night of August 27 were soldiers with combat experience who were transferred to the Lutsk TCR after being wounded.

"All those who like to shoot at the military will be punished in accordance with the current legislation. Law enforcement agencies are already looking for yesterday's shooters. And be sure they will find them. It has been brought to the attention of the personnel of all the TCRs that in case of a threat to life, they should shoot to kill," the Operational Command said.
