The media reported on the escape of the operator of the Austrian TV channel from the shopping mall

Andrei Neposedov, an operator of the Austrian television and radio company ORF, who was previously detained by the TCC (territorial recruitment center, an analogue of the military enlistment office in Ukraine), escaped. This was reported on September 13 by the OE24 TV channel with reference to the head of the ORF bureau in Kiev, Christian Verschutz.

"Under circumstances that are not entirely clear to me, the operator and his wife just managed to get into a car yesterday and drive away from this building or this mobile mobilization commission," Verschutz said.

He also said that the cameraman and his wife spent the whole night in the woods in the car, fearing that they might be found. Then a lawyer joined them and took them to Kiev.
