Dozens gather outside a private house near Kyiv saying soldiers are being held and beaten there. National Guard says the building was used to house newly mobilized troops.

Several dozen individuals gathered outside a house in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, a village in Ukraine's Kyiv region, on November 2 evening. They claimed that people were being held inside and that their captors were torturing them. Ukrainian news outlets reported the incident, including Hromadske and Interfax-Ukraine. Residents attempted to break into the property, while one woman stated that her son was held there after being detained by Territorial Recruitment Center officers en route to work.

Medical personnel, senior officials from the Kyiv regional police, and National Guard commanders arrived at the scene. UNIAN reported that four people were taken out of the house, with one reportedly suffering a broken spine. National Guard Commander Oleksandr Pivnenko explained that the individuals were National Guard service members who had been returned to their units after leaving without authorization.

He denied torture allegations, stating that the four service members were brought to a hospital for medical attention. These soldiers were among 18 National Guard personnel who were temporarily housed in the private home after arriving, completing paperwork, and undergoing checks before being dispatched to a training center. The commander emphasized that the remaining service members in the house were also National Guard members. The gathering outside the house also saw people throwing eggs at police officers.
