The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine informs that on the occupied territories of Ukraine, Russians are increasing pressure on the local population.
Russia has significantly intensified the forces of intimidation and repression in connection with the preparation for the so-called electoral process and the 're-election' of Putin, as well as to identify opponents of Russian subjugation.
Occupation administrations are creating terrible and unbearable conditions for those citizens who refuse to receive Russian passports: people are denied medical and social assistance, deprived of access to electricity and water supply systems.
In the composition of punitive-repressive groups conducting systematic searches of private homes of Ukrainians in the occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, Russians have started using behavior analysis experts. During the so-called 'document checks' and searches, these individuals closely monitor the homeowner, creating additional psychological pressure.
Attempting to intimidate and establish total control over the local population, Russians in the occupied Ukrainian territories are trying to cut off all possible communication channels and access to information. For example, to obtain permission and the ability to use mobile internet, Ukrainians in occupation must turn to providers controlled by the Russians.
In these companies, unknown codes are entered into people's phones, which may indicate the covert installation of spyware.
