Ukraine's military recruiters have launched targeted raids in Kyiv, detaining those whose documents do not comply and press-ganging them into the army. 

Video footage captured the moment two men were dragged away by officers as they exited the Palace of Sports on Friday where Ukrainian rock band Okean Elzy played. 

One concertgoer could be seen struggling and shouting 'Get away from me!' at three policemen as they pulled him towards the recruitment desk set up outside the venue. 

A series of raids were carried out at restaurants, clubs, bars and a concert hall in the capital city, according to reports. 

Those refusing to show documents exempting them from military service, or those whose documents were considered faulty, were dragged away. 

In the video, the man is panic-stricken as he pulls against the police officer's grip. Several women who filmed the incident on their smartphones could be heard shouting: 'Shame! Shame on you!'
