The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine informs that russian invaders are stepping up pressure on the local population in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

The aggressor state of russia has significantly intensified intimidation and repression in preparation for the so-called election process and putin's "re-election", as well as to identify opponents of russian enslavement.

The occupation administrations create terrible and unbearable conditions for those citizens who refuse to receive russian passports: people are denied medical and social assistance, and deprived of access to electricity and water supply.

As part of the punitive and repressive groups that conduct systematic searches of private homes of Ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, the russian invaders have begun to use behavioral analysis specialists.

During the so-called "document checks" and searches, these individuals closely monitor the homeowner, creating additional psychological pressure.

In an attempt to intimidate and establish total control over the local population, russians in the occupied Ukrainian territories are trying to cut off all possible channels of communication and access to information.

For example, to obtain permission and use the mobile Internet, Ukrainians under occupation must apply to russian-controlled providers.

In these companies, unknown codes are entered on people’s phones, which may indicate the hidden installation of spyware.
