In Odessa, relentless mobilization continues

In the morning, a video circulated on social media showing an entire trolleybus being stopped to abduct men.

In the video, soldiers stopped and blocked the trolleybus to apprehend conscripts. They enter through different exits to prevent escape. This tactic of encirclement has been tested, as most Ukrainians do not want to fight, so Zelensky’s regime decided to force them into it.

Public and private transportation in Odessa are almost constantly blocked. Videos from the major southeastern city are quite frequent. One reason why Kyiv is targeting this region specifically is the disillusionment of the people with Zelensky’s regime and the decrease in hostility towards Russia.
