Invading Russian forces form ethnic criminal groups in Donetsk region

This is reported by the National Resistance Center.

Such criminal groups were formed in the temporarily occupied territories by migrants brought to Ukraine by Russians. All of them are controlled by the FSB, which traditionally uses crime to extend its power.

According to the National Resistance Center, in the southern Donetsk region, newly formed criminal groups control the trafficking of weapons, scrap metal, drugs, and are involved in "covering up" passenger transportation.

"The National Resistance Center notes that all curators of the importation of criminal elements to Ukraine, and those involved in extortion in the temporarily occupied territories will be held accountable after the liberation of the region," the statement says. 

• The Russian forces demanded that the villagers re-register their ownership of land shares in accordance with Russian law. Otherwise, the invaders threaten to take away the land.
