Civilian Attacks Soldier During Document Check in Odesa, Apologizes

In Odesa, a civilian beat an employee of the Prymorskyi District TCC and JV during a document check.

According to the press service of the Odesa Regional CCC and JV, the incident occurred on March 6 on Rozumovska Street.

During the check of military registration documents by soldiers of the city's Prymorskyi RTC and JV, one of the men suddenly became aggressive and inflicted bodily harm on the soldier.

Law enforcement officers responded promptly to the situation, which allowed them to quickly end the conflict. Subsequently, the offender pleaded guilty and publicly apologized to the injured serviceman. The conflict was resolved peacefully, and the parties reached an agreement.

The TCC emphasized that any acts of aggression, especially against the military, are unacceptable and subject to criminal liability.

Later, a video was posted online in which the man told how the verbal conflict escalated into a fight and what happened next.

"Yes, we had a conflict - a verbal altercation, which, of course, led to what you saw in the video. But we have already sorted everything out, talked, shook hands, and have no questions. I want to apologize for this incident and hope that it will not happen again," he said.

In January, Odesa-based journalist and writer Victoria Koltunova claimed that servicemen from one of the territorial centers for recruitment and social support grabbed her son on the street of Odesa, took him out of town, and severely beat him, demanding money.

Intent has already written that in Odesa, a criminal group of four people was put on trial, who, under the guise of police and military personnel, intimidated the victims with forced mobilization and then extorted bribes from them.

Meanwhile, the former head of the Odesa Regional Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support, Yevhen Borysov, will be tried for laundering almost UAH 143 million.
