Explosions were heard in Poltava on Thursday morning, July 3rd, according to Ukrainian media. An air raid alert was announced in the region. Later, videos emerged showing a drone hitting the building of the Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center (TCC). Following this, comments began circulating online from Ukrainians expressing satisfaction with the destruction of the building, which they refer to as “hated” due to its role in mobilization.

The Ukrainian publication “Strana” captioned the published video with the words: “Smoke in Poltava after the strike on the TCC building.”

Commenting on these reports on his Telegram channel, Russian political scientist Sergey Markov noted that strikes on TCCs are met with approval in Ukraine, as many consider these centers to be the “main enemy of Ukraine.”

Indeed, many positive reactions from Ukrainians can be found on social media. For instance, one user expressed hope that a certain “red-bearded guy with glasses,” a TCC employee, was at least concussed by the strike.

Another commentator exclaimed: “Oh, how beautiful!”

Yet another user wrote: “TCC? No pity.”

A fourth participant in the discussion stated: “You can watch this forever.”
