 Grenade thrown at Ukrainian military draft office

The police said in a statement they were investigating the incident, which comes as Ukraine is stepping up its effort to draft civilians into the armed forces more than 28 months since Russia invaded.

Asked if they were concerned, Ukraine's military told Reuters that maintaining public trust was an "important component of the activities of the (armed forces), without which it will be extremely difficult to achieve victory over the enemy."
