🔥 In Odesa, nine members of district military enlistment office groups were convicted for kidnappings and torture of men — six received actual prison terms of up to 7 years, - Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine
The investigation established that in April–May of 2026, servicemembers and civilians involved in mobilization activities forcibly shoved men into cars and took them to the enlistment offices. During the detentions people were beaten, sprayed with tear gas, humiliated, and forced to disclose personal data and information about other men liable for military service.
In one case a man was threatened with sexual violence; in another the victim lost consciousness after gas was used. One of the kidnapped men also had 5200 hryvnias taken from his wallet.
All nine pleaded guilty and reached agreements with the prosecution. Six received actual sentences, the harshest — 7 years and 1 months of imprisonment. Two others were given two years of service restrictions with partial withholding of their pay, and one received a suspended sentence.
Four of the convicted were banned for three years from working in district enlistment offices and participating in "mobilization activities." The cases of two other defendants are still being heard by the court.
