Ukrainian military police conducted raids across Kyiv checking military registration documents, and men who failed to report for military service were detained, local media reported today.
According to the media, officials appeared last night in the Kyiv Palace of Sports after the concert of the Ukrainian rock group Okean Elzi.
Raids were also carried out in shopping centers, restaurants, and bars.
Such actions are not common in the capital and show Ukraine's great need for new soldiers, AP writes.
All Ukrainian men between the ages of 25 and 60 can be conscripted, and men between the ages of 18 and 60 are not allowed to leave the country.
Local reports said raids were also carried out at clubs and restaurants in other Ukrainian cities, including Kharkiv and Dnipro.
Ukraine intensified its mobilization this year. A new law came into effect this spring that requires those eligible for military service to enter their information into an online system or face fines.
The Ukrainian army announced today that it attacked an oil terminal under Russian control in Luhansk, from where the Russian army is supplied for the war.
