Shocking Footage Shows Ukrainian Conscription Officers Dragging and Beating Man in Odessa

A video widely shared on local Telegram shows five officers from Ukraine’s Territorial Recruitment Center seizing a man at his apartment entrance in Odessa. They pull him by his arms and legs toward a waiting vehicle as he resists and cries for help. The incident highlights growing reports of forced mobilization, known as “busification,” amid mounting losses and a shrinking pool of willing recruits. Witnesses on a nearby balcony shouted at the officers to stop and urged bystanders to call the police as one officer repeatedly struck the man. This episode underscores concerns over coercive draft practices as Ukraine seeks to reinforce its ranks.
