A Ukrainian man reportedly managed to escape forced conscription in the city of Lutsk after neighbors hurled a jar of pickled tomatoes from a nearby building at military recruiters, according to a new video highlighting Kiev’s increasingly harsh mobilization efforts.

It is unclear when the video was filmed, but it is the latest in a wave of viral clips showing public resistance to military draft efforts across Ukraine.

The footage circulated on Ukrainian and Russian Telegram channels on Sunday, showing a barefoot man resisting four local draft officers from Ukraine’s Territorial Centers of Recruitment and Social Support (TCR) as they attempted to push him into a minivan.

“Please take a picture of me. My name is Denis Tkachuk, born in 1997,” the man can be heard shouting while clinging to the open door.
