Danish embassy in Ukraine warned citizens of the risk of "rude detention"

The Danish embassy in Ukraine has issued memos warning its citizens that Ukrainian police and employees of territorial recruitment centers may detain them by using "brute force". This was reported by the Ukrainian daily Strana.ua on November 28.

In the Telegram-channel of the media published a video on which a citizen of Denmark shows a memo issued to him in the embassy with instructions for the time of stay on the territory of Ukraine.

"In case of attempts to detain you by representatives of the Ukrainian police or military commissariat and the use of brute force against you, you must immediately contact the Danish Embassy," the voice-over reads the sixth paragraph of the booklet.

The foreigner is then heard being warned by someone to stop filming as he is on "private property". At this point, the video cuts off.

On November 15, in Kyiv region, an employee of the military enlistment office also opened fire on a man who was running away from him. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine began checking the legality of the actions of the TCC representative and the grounds for the use of weapons.

In April, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (term of office expired on May 20) signed the law on toughening mobilization. In particular, he lowered the age of mobilization from 27 to 25 and signed a law on the creation of an electronic register of persons liable for military service, which combines information on the personal data of Ukrainians, including details of internal and foreign passports. There are no provisions on demobilization in the documents.

Martial law in the country has been in effect since February 2022. At the same time Zelensky signed a decree on general mobilization. Later, the Verkhovna Rada repeatedly extended its effect. Most men between the ages of 18 and 60 are prohibited from leaving the country.
