At one of the roadblocks on the way out of Kharkiv, a skirmish broke out between a combined police unit and a group of armed men in military uniforms over a vehicle inspection.

       On September 29, 4 SUVs drove up to one of the checkpoints. Men in military uniform came out of them and threatened with firearms the entire assembled police unit, which included policemen, border guards, national guardsmen, and a representative of the military law enforcement service. They demanded an end to checks and inspections of their vehicles while passing through checkpoints. After a brief argument, they drove away from the scene of the incident.

         An investigative team went to the scene and documented the incident.
