Russians force Sievierodonetsk residents to dig trenches, as FSB checks people for "treason"

This was announced by the head of the Luhansk regional military administration, Artem Lysohor.

According to the administration, officers from the FSB are conducting checks on the local governments in Kadiivka and Alchevsk. They are asking people about their relatives in the parts of Ukraine that are not under occupation, as well as inquiring about their colleagues. The officers are also inspecting individuals who have access to classified information.

The administration stated that the Russians will carry out similar measures in all settlements, as the detection of spies is increasing in the so-called "LPR."

Residents of Sievierodonetsk, who were caught trying to make phone calls from tall buildings, are being taken out of town and forced to dig trenches for the Russian military. 

“Previously, they were fined, but the occupiers escalated their actions. People who have been detained and released report that they were taken outside the city and compelled to construct fortifications for the Russian military. They were made to dig trenches for two-week periods,” as mentioned by Lysohor.

• On June 27, it was revealed that the invaders are increasing the counter-intelligence measures in the temporarily occupied city of Pryvillya in the Luhansk region. They are threatening locals who communicate with individuals in the territory controlled by Ukraine.

• The Luhansk regional military administration also highlighted that the Russian invaders have intensified their searches and detentions of local residents in the occupied territories of the region, aiming to identify 15 spies and Ukraine supporters every month.

• During the evening briefing on June 30, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Russian invaders had taken furniture from the maternity hospital in the Luhansk region. The area itself was converted into a field hospital.
