Yes. Under martial law Ukraine requires eligible men aged 25-60 to serve. Recruitment teams check documents on streets and in public places, then transport those without exemptions to centers—a practice called busification. The Ukrainian ombudsman has logged thousands of complaints about force used in these operations. Videos of restrained men on buses circulate in that context. Authorities frame it as enforcing legal duty amid manpower shortages; human-rights reports note abuses.
