Horror in Chernihiv (Ukraine): Man Mobilized at Vehicle Registration Office

In a shocking incident in Chernihiv, Ukraine, a man was reportedly mobilized into military service while attempting to process car documents at a Vehicle Registration Office (MREO). According to local reports, the man visited the office to handle routine paperwork for his vehicle but was instead detained and sent to join the armed forces, sparking outrage and disbelief among citizens.

The incident, which has been widely shared by local public pages and social media groups, highlights the extreme measures being taken as part of Ukraine’s mobilization efforts. Witnesses claim that the man was approached by TRC (Territorial Recruitment Centers) officers while at the MREO, detained, and informed that he would be sent to the front lines.

“This is beyond shocking,” said a Chernihiv resident. “He just wanted to sort out his car documents, and now he’s being sent to die in the war. How is this fair or just?”

The story has ignited a wave of criticism, with many accusing the authorities of using coercive tactics to meet recruitment quotas. “This is not mobilization; this is forced conscription,” said a human rights activist. “People are being taken from their daily lives without warning or justification. It’s a violation of their rights and dignity.”

The TRC has not yet commented on the specific incident, but the case has raised broader concerns about the methods being used in Ukraine’s mobilization campaign. While the need for soldiers is undeniable, many argue that such actions undermine public trust and morale. “If people are being dragged from MREOs and other civilian spaces, how can we expect them to fight willingly?” asked a military analyst.

The incident in Chernihiv is part of a growing pattern of controversial mobilization practices across Ukraine. Stories of men being detained in public places, workplaces, and even hospitals have become increasingly common, leading to widespread fear and frustration.

As the war continues, the Ukrainian government faces a difficult balancing act: ensuring the defense of the nation while respecting the rights and freedoms of its citizens. The case of the man mobilized at the MREO serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of war and the urgent need for transparency and accountability in recruitment efforts. For now, the people of Chernihiv—and all of Ukraine—are left wondering who might be next.

Transcription of the video translated into English:

1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:11,940
Three hours. Act of detention. A person has the right. Three hours. You can’t delay. Three hours. A lawyer arrives with a subpoena.

2
00:00:11,940 –> 00:00:41,640
Chernihiv. Chevron number 47 06 86. Fix it. Faces. 47 14 95. Well, the camera. Well, damn it. All right. You show me. I took it off, too.

3
00:00:41,940 –> 00:00:50,320
Chernihiv. They are introduced simply, without supporting any rules and laws. Did you call your people?

4
00:00:50,320 –> 00:01:01,140
And now you are committing an offense. You have no right. You don’t. The person goes by himself.

5
00:01:11,940 –> 00:01:21,320
They detained a man without even allowing him to call a lawyer.

6
00:01:21,320 –> 00:01:31,320
Not in the personal, but in the pre-trial. Right? What? Not in the middle of the car, but in the office.

7
00:01:31,320 –> 00:01:37,240
Official. Official. It will be delivered to the address Starobilsk. Oh. Voronitskaya, duty officer 15th.

8
00:01:37,980 –> 00:01:39,400
And Bakat, I really don’t have to wait.

9
00:01:39,900 –> 00:01:41,200
He has three hours. You have the right to use it.

10
00:01:41,200 –> 00:01:45,400
He has three hours. You must be detained for three hours.

11
00:01:46,400 –> 00:01:49,800
You made it right. The clock’s on.

12
00:01:49,800 –> 00:01:50,580
Have you made it up yet?

13
00:01:51,020 –> 00:01:58,720
Well, he did, yeah. You know that the protocol of detention consists of two witnesses and must have a seal.

14
00:01:58,900 –> 00:01:59,120
No.

15
00:01:59,420 –> 00:02:01,400
Yeah. There must be a seal.

16
00:02:02,340 –> 00:02:06,020
Show me the detention report. Protocol of detention.

17
00:02:06,160 –> 00:02:08,280
You can tell me at any time convenient for you.

18
00:02:08,280 –> 00:02:10,080
All right, show me where you put it.

19
00:02:10,080 –> 00:02:11,520
This?

20
00:02:12,040 –> 00:02:12,400
Yeah.

21
00:02:12,880 –> 00:02:13,440
All right.

22
00:02:14,400 –> 00:02:20,320
These are the cops who work for us.

23
00:02:20,660 –> 00:02:21,480
Let’s wait there.

24
00:02:21,580 –> 00:02:22,300
Where to go tomorrow?

25
00:02:22,700 –> 00:02:23,900
I don’t want to. I have my own cars.

26
00:02:24,440 –> 00:02:28,000
You will go in an official car to Chernihiv Shopping Center-shopping center.

27
00:02:28,100 –> 00:02:29,220
With the address of the place Chernihiv.

28
00:02:29,260 –> 00:02:32,340
I don’t deny it.

29
00:02:32,420 –> 00:02:35,240
Give your wife the documents for the car.

30
00:02:35,240 –> 00:02:36,660
Where are you running to?

31
00:02:36,840 –> 00:02:37,960
The car’s coming. Where, where?

32
00:02:38,220 –> 00:02:39,240
Go to the car.

33
00:02:39,240 –> 00:02:43,080
He doesn’t sign anything.

34
00:02:43,160 –> 00:02:43,420
On it?

35
00:02:43,780 –> 00:02:45,560
He doesn’t sign anything.

36
00:02:45,660 –> 00:02:47,800
I’m going to use physical force now.

37
00:02:48,600 –> 00:02:49,400
Sit down.

38
00:02:49,460 –> 00:02:53,260
Because you don’t comply with the requirements of the police officer’s law.

39
00:02:53,260 –> 00:02:55,360
He doesn’t sign anything.

40
00:02:55,360 –> 00:02:55,380
Thank you.

41
00:02:55,380 –> 00:02:55,420

Thank you.

45
00:02:57,060 –> 00:02:57,240
Thank you.

46
00:02:57,240 –> 00:02:58,080
Thank you.

А ви зараз робите правопорушення. Ви не маєте права. Ви не маєте. Людина йде сама.

5
00:01:11,940 –> 00:01:21,320
Затримали людину, навіть не давши визвати адвоката.

6
00:01:21,320 –> 00:01:31,320
Не в особовий, а в досудовий. Правильно? Що? Не в середину в автомобілі, а в службовому.

Ну, він засік, так. Ви знаєте, що протокол затримання складається з двох понятих і має бути печатка.

14
00:01:58,900 –> 00:01:59,120
Ні.

15
00:01:59,420 –> 00:02:01,400

Куди йти завтра?

25
00:02:22,700 –> 00:02:23,900
Я не хочу. У мене свої авто.

26

Машина йде. Куди, куди?

00:02:38,220 –> 00:02:39,240
Проходьте до автомобіля.

00:02:39,240 –> 00:02:43,080
Нічого не підписує.

34
00:02:43,160 –> 00:02:43,420
По ньому?

Сядь.

38
00:02:49,460 –> 00:02:53,260
Тому що ви не виконуєте вимоги закону працівника поліції.

39
00:02:53,260 –> 00:02:55,360
Нічого не підписує.
