In Petropavlivska-Borshchagivka, outside Kyiv, 49-year-old nurse Valentyna Moloda, who was not authorised to work as a paramedic, claimed that forcibly conscripted men were being held and tortured in a house. A member of her team livestreamed the scene, drawing a crowd that demanded entry, threw eggs at police and hurled tomatoes at the building.

The claims resonated amid widespread resentment toward military recruitment officers over their sometimes brutal methods.
