Recent reports from Odesa, Ukraine, have highlighted a concerning trend of forced mobilization into the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with descriptions of men being kidnapped and beaten to fulfill army quotas. Eyewitness accounts and social media posts describe white vans being used to abduct men off the streets, with some individuals forcefully “volunteering” or being kidnapped to fight in the war. Several of these men reportedly resisted their conscription, leading to physical altercations. This practice has sparked outrage and calls for volunteers to step forward, questioning why ordinary citizens are being compelled to fight.
