A video filmed on 4 February in the Peresypskyi district of Odesa was posted on social media. The footage shows TCR soldiers catching a man who was running away and starting to beat him.
Reaction of the TCR
The Odesa Regional TCR said that during a joint inspection of military registration documents, it was discovered that the citizen was wanted for violating military registration rules.
"In response to the lawful request of military personnel to proceed to the district territorial centre for recruitment and social support to clarify registration data and complete the necessary documents, the person reacted aggressively and, according to preliminary data, physically resisted and attacked a military officer.
In order to stop the illegal actions, for self-defence and to carry out administrative detention, physical force was used against the citizen. The person was then taken to the TCR and SS for the preparation of administrative materials and the implementation of the prescribed procedures," the statement said.
The TCC claims that the video does not reflect the full chronology of events and shows signs of selective editing, which may distort the actual circumstances of the incident, in particular the moment when the citizen's unlawful actions began.
At the same time, the management of the regional TCC has initiated an official investigation, after which a legal assessment will be provided and a decision will be made in accordance with the established procedure.
