In Luhansk region, the occupation administration has increased bus fares. The enemy explains this by improved service quality and a shortage of drivers – currently, the deficit is 50-70% of the required number, informs UNN with reference to a report from the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (CCD).
Details
It is noted that although propaganda calls this increase "insignificant," in reality, the cost of travel has increased by 60% since the beginning of the year.
Raising tariffs for basic services is a typical policy of Russia in the occupied Ukrainian territories. Earlier, transportation tariffs were increased in the captured cities of Zaporizhzhia region. In Donetsk region, water supply tariffs, which are practically non-existent, increased by almost a third
The CCD indicates that Russian propaganda promised residents of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine a life in a "modern, technologically advanced, rich state."
"But Russia brought only degradation in all spheres of life, ruined infrastructure, increased tariffs, and lack of water supply," the CCD summarizes.
Recall
According to the CCD, in the Russian-controlled territory of Ukraine, the occupiers force students with academic debt to sign contracts with the Russian army.
