Russian forces have captured a Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier from the Novopavlovka area in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). In a video released by Russian channels, the prisoner claims he was working at a shawarma stand when officers from the Territorial Recruitment Center (TCK) arrived, ordered food, and then forcibly mobilized him instead of paying. The video shows his interrogation, where he is told to urge his comrades to surrender with the phrase, 'Keep working, brothers!' This incident highlights ongoing reports of coercive mobilization practices within Ukraine.
