Ukraine's State Bureau of Investigation (DBR) has revealed allegations of abuse by two military enlistment teams during a mobilization operation in the Odesa region, targeting civilians. The DBR uncovered 15 incidents involving 10 military personnel, as part of an operation called "Honest Conscription," conducted with the assistance of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The two groups, belonging to one of the district Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers (TCCs) in the Odesa region, are accused of using force, beating civilians, employing tear gas, and forcibly transporting people to TCC facilities. In one incident, a man managed to escape from a notification team; during the chase, a TCC service vehicle driver allegedly struck him with his vehicle.
The DBR is investigating these allegations to combat torture and unlawful violence by officials during mobilization activities. However, the agency did not disclose the identities of the military personnel involved or whether any suspects have been formally charged.
