Personal security for ‘election commission heads’ in occupied Donetsk

The National Resistance Center reported the information.

In particular, according to underground sources, over 5,400 security personnel are currently operating in the occupied territories of the Donetsk region, with over 2,700 involved in guarding the locations of various levels of so-called election commissions.

According to the National Resistance Center, 2,500 will be mobilized daily to guard members of the 'mobile commissions,' and up to 200 individuals will be involved in providing personal security for the heads of the 'election commissions'.

In the temporarily occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia region, about 2,500 law enforcement officers from the Russian National Guard and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been deployed to guard members of the 'mobile commissions'.

The Center also noted that the Kremlin lacks law enforcement personnel, so an additional 600 employees from over a hundred Russian private security firms have been recruited to guard the 'voting' locations.

They have been guarding educational institutions, key enterprises for the occupying forces, and critical infrastructure for quite some time, and some of them have legally registered their branches in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

It has also become known that the Russian-installed administrations are trying to prevent "destabilization of the socio-political situation" in the controlled territories. Therefore, as part of the preparations for the ‘voting,’ they have decided not to evacuate from the ‘voting’ places in case of receiving information about a terrorist threat.

"To avoid the resonance of undesirable informational materials, special monitoring groups have been created to monitor information resources. Their goal is to identify and block information that may lead to destabilization of the situation in the temporarily occupied territories during the preparation and conduct of the 'elections,'" reports the Center.

• On March 16, representatives of the Atesh resistance movement announced that they were continuing to hunt for the organizers of the "presidential elections" in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
