In Odesa, employees of the territorial recruitment center allegedly blocked a car and forcibly took away its driver.
Footage filmed by eyewitnesses shows that a recruitment-center minibus damaged the left fender of the passenger car, while another vehicle blocked it from behind.
Several recruitment-center employees then forcibly pulled the driver out of the car and pushed him into the minibus. A National Police representative standing nearby watched what was happening but did not intervene.
The recruitment-center minibus then drove away accompanied by a police car.

Allegedly, both vehicles used by the recruitment-center employees had license plates registered to other vehicles.
Similar incidents had previously been reported in Odesa. In one case, according to eyewitnesses, recruitment-center employees left a beaten man behind and drove away in a car with someone else’s plates. In another, they carried out forced mobilization while moving around in a minibus with plates registered to a different vehicle.
