In Luhansk region, the occupation administration has increased bus fares.

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.
