Recall that earlier, media outlets published a video reportedly from the Starosambir District Territorial Recruitment Center in the Lviv region.

In the video, a man in military uniform is seen beating a civilian while holding a pistol and threatening to take him into the woods. Another military personnel tried to calm his colleague down.

Additionally, a video statement was released by the man who was beaten in the TCR (Territorial Center of Recruitment) in the city of Sambir. He mentioned that he is from Kharkiv and has been held in the military enlistment office for six days, where they confiscated his phone.

It seems that this relates to the beating captured in the initial video.
