A group of Roma attempted to storm a military recruitment center in Odesa after a man, referred to as a ‘Roma baron’ by local media, was detained during mobilization efforts. The crowd threw stones at the military office, demanding the release of the detained man, who is said to have significant influence in the local Roma community.
There are no official reports on injuries or arrests from the incident, and authorities have not confirmed whether the protesters succeeded in entering the building or the fate of the detained individual.
