Man screams he has child left alone at home as he's packed into van by drafters

Footage has been shared online of what appears to be Ukrainian conscription officers attempting to force a man into a vehicle in broad daylight. The footage was reportedly filmed in Odessa and shows a middle-aged man furiously struggling to break free from two officers, alerting passersby with his shouts for help. Eventually, the officers appear to give up after the man shouts that his child has been left home alone, shrugging as he runs away.

The footage has raised concerns about the tactics used by Kiev to conscript new soldiers, and footage of similar incidents has been published, which appear to show men being forcibly recruited. However, recruitment officials have denied that the man was being conscripted, claiming that the man was an existing recruit who ‘escaped while undergoing a medical examination.’
