In the Chernivtsi region, five TCC (Territorial Recruiting Center) employees kidnapped and tortured men to force them to sign consent forms for conscription. In one incident this February, recruiting officers shot a man in the leg with a non-lethal weapon (a rubber bullet). They then forced the man to extract the bullet from the wound himself. In another case, the TCC team received 5,500 euros in exchange for the release of a man.
