In Donetsk, the occupiers held an oath-taking ceremony for new employees of the fake "Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DNR." This is reported by the Center for National Resistance of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (CNR), informs UNN.
Details
It is noted that to add pathos to the event, three local collaborators were demonstratively awarded the rank of colonel.
However, behind this facade hides the usual expansion of the punitive machine to strengthen control over the city. ... Behind the scenes of the celebrations, the security forces received a clear task: "Stop the resistance." This is effectively a direct order to conduct new waves of searches, illegal detentions, and harsh crackdowns on any manifestations of disloyalty
They add that, despite years of occupation, civilian resistance continues, so instead of fighting real crime, the newly minted colonels will focus exclusively on intimidating unarmed citizens.
Recall
Despite claims of "unity," a strict border regime with checks, interrogations, and hours-long queues operates between the occupied territories of Donbas and Russia.
