The Russian Federation is stepping up measures aimed at establishing an occupation regime in the occupied territories of the East and South of Ukraine.
Last week, Sergei Kiriyenko, First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, held a meeting in Donetsk with the participation of the “leaders” of the so-called L/DNR. The meeting discussed the creation and further activities of Russian military-civilian administrations .
This was reported in the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
Particular attention is paid to the urgent introduction of a system of compulsory paid licensing of Ukrainian private entrepreneurs for trade with the constituent entities of the Russian Federation . This, according to the invaders, will allow the occupation regime to take control of financial flows in the occupied Ukrainian territories . And in the future, completely reorient local business to the Russian market .
At present, the invaders’ attempts to “restart” the local business are being resisted by a significant part of the local population . As well as obstacles from traditional Russian corruption . So, in the Shevchenkovo settlement of the Kharkiv region, the occupiers made it possible to establish the work of the local market. A Russian “tricolor” was posted on its territory. Outraged locals broke the flagpole . After that, the occupiers promised to close the market in case of repetition of “incidents”.
In Borovaya, Kharkiv region, the occupiers are forcing the heads of agricultural enterprises to take people and equipment to the field and begin spring field work . At the same time, most of the equipment was either broken or stolen by the invaders themselves. The total shortage of seed and fuels and lubricants also affects. In addition, farmers are not guaranteed safety – several farmers exploded on shells and mines while trying to carry out field work. Those agrarians who refuse to work are threatened with “nationalization” of the land .
In the villages of Botievo and Stroganovka, Melitopol district, Zaporozhye region, representatives of the occupation commandant’s office demand that entrepreneurs open shops, cafes, places of recreation and leisure . Safe operation condition: absence of Ukrainian goods. At the same time , contacts of suppliers from the Crimea are provided . The invaders claim that they will not leave this region and continue to prepare for the introduction of the “ruble zone” .
