They are afraid of sabotage: Russians are preparing  for guerrilla war in border areas with Ukraine, -  Ministry of Defense 

This was announced by  Main Department of Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in  Telegram, publishing a document of  Russian Defense Ministry.

"Ministry of Transport of Russian Federation is obliged to ensure  interaction of  Russian railway with  Ministry of Internal Affairs and  FSB. Increased security measures are related to the "threat of interference in the operation of transport infrastructure facilities located on  borders of Rostov region and Krasnodar region," Defense Ministry said.

Russia introduced counter-sabotage measures on its railways at the beginning of the aggression against Ukraine, but they lasted only a short time -  aggressor was counting on blitzkrieg. When "Plan A" failed, such measures continued due to threat of sabotage by so-called rail guerrillas.

Ministry of Defense of Ukraine explains that  recent explosions near Belgorod at  local oil depot and ammunition depots caused panic in neighboring Russian regions. This marked the beginning of guerrilla warfare and  transfer of hostilities to the territory of  Russian Federation.

Thus, the "rail guerrillas" purposefully disable Russian railway connection with Ukraine. This makes it difficult to deliver reinforcements to combat zone.
