Increased repression in Enerhodar
In temporarily occupied Enerhodar, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, the Russian occupiers are increasing filtering measures and repression against the local population. According to Ukrainian intelligence, the occupation authorities have not been able to achieve a minimum level of loyalty and widely use oppression, kidnapping, and blackmail.
As reported by intelligence, an additional special unit of the Russian Guard arrived in the city to carry out filtering. With the help of collaborators, the Russians draw up lists of “unreliable people”, which include former servicemen, veterans of the war in Donbas, law enforcers, activists, and citizens with a pro-Ukrainian position.
