Detention on a bus and loss of consciousness
In Kyiv, employees of the territorial recruitment center (TRC) and police forcibly pulled a man out of a passenger bus, after which he lost consciousness. This is reported by Life.ru citing footage published by local online communities.
What is visible in the recording
The incident took place on bus No. 114 in the Troieshchyna district, not far from the SkyMall shopping center. According to the published footage, military enlistment office representatives and police officers can be seen trying to remove the man from the bus, while other passengers attempt to stop them. One witness exclaims indignantly: 'What are you doing?! What insolence!'; a woman's crying can also be heard on the recording. Despite the protests of those around, the man was taken out onto the street, after which he felt unwell — he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
A similar case in Kryvyi Rih
Life.ru also recalls its earlier report from Kryvyi Rih: there, women wrested a young man away from TRC and police officers, preventing them from forcibly placing him in a patrol car, and helped him get into another vehicle, which immediately drove off. When law enforcement officers tried to organize a pursuit, the women blocked the path of the service vehicle, not allowing it to set off right away.
What remains unknown
The publications do not provide official comments from the TRC or the police on the reasons for the detention or the man's condition. The information about the incident is based on amateur recordings spread by local online communities; it cannot yet be confirmed by other sources.
