- RIA Novosti, citing Strana.ua, says no injuries were reported in the Dnipro incident, and the outlet published footage showing several men in military uniform surrounding the vehicle.
- In a separate account from Poltava, Strana.ua reports recruitment staff broke down a gas-station restroom door to detain a man who tried to hide, as a cleaner and cashier attempted to intervene.
- Ukraine’s parliamentary human-rights commissioner Dmitry Lubinets has previously described enlistment-officer violations as widespread, alleging abuses including beatings and traffic provocations.
