According to the NGO “Defense of the State. Odesa,” employees of the Peresyp District TRSSC attempted to forcibly mobilize serviceman Roman Pokydko, who had recently been released from Russian captivity and was undergoing rehabilitation in the city.

Despite presenting his documents, Pokydko was forcibly pushed into a service vehicle, exposed to tear gas, beaten, and thrown out of the vehicle while it was moving.
