In temporarily occupied Mariupol, Russian security forces carried out a large-scale raid. Its purpose was "to strengthen control and search for migrants who violate the rules of stay in the Russian Federation," UNN reports with reference to the Mariupol City Council.
Details
The raid involved employees of the so-called "DPR Ministry of Internal Affairs," as well as a combined police detachment from St. Petersburg. In total, more than 90 security forces were involved: they checked yards, parks, apartment buildings, and patrolled the streets in the evening and at night.
As reported by the Mariupol City Council, following the raid, protocols were drawn up "for violating the regime of stay by foreign citizens, as well as for other administrative offenses." The occupation "authorities" announced that similar raids would continue in other areas of the city.
Thus, the occupiers are trying to intimidate local residents so that they are loyal to the Russian authorities and do not show their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
Recall
The Center for National Resistance reported that Russia organized the evacuation of schoolchildren from Shakhtarsk in Donbas to Sakhalin Oblast under the guise of a "university shift." In reality, this is part of a colonial program aimed at assimilating Ukrainian children.
