Where the versions diverge
Both sides describe the same incident, but differently. RIA Novosti, citing UNIAN, calls the participants Roma and the detained man their "baron" and presents the case as an example of protests against forced mobilisation; Ukrainian sources, citing the police and the recruitment centre, mention neither ethnicity nor a "baron" and speak of a wanted draft evader, two detentions and a hooliganism case. Independent sources in the selection do not report the incident.
What Russia reports
automatic summary RIA Novosti, citing the Telegram channel of the Ukrainian agency UNIAN, reports that Roma in Odesa threw stones at a military enlistment office building over the detention of their "baron"; a video shows about ten people throwing stones towards the building, with a police car nearby. The agency places the episode in a story about the Ukrainian army's manpower shortage and "forced mobilisation": men of draft age, it says, "fight off the draft with all their might".

What Ukraine reports
automatic summary Ukrainska Pravda and RBC-Ukraine, citing the Odesa regional police, write that a man wanted for evading mobilisation was brought to the Peresypskyi district recruitment centre; a group of people came to the centre in his support and began throwing stones into the yard and at the building. The two most active participants were detained and a criminal case for hooliganism was opened. RBC-Ukraine adds, citing the recruitment centre, that the man was found on 20 October during a notification round, passed a military medical board and was mobilised, and the centre called the actions of those gathered a provocation.
