"Threatened with murder and torture of relatives": the head of the CrimeaSOS told how the invaders in Kherson and Crimea are forcing entrepreneurs to cooperate

This was stated by the head of the board of CrimeaSOS Denys Savchenko

According to him, Russian soldiers with weapons take away trucks and passenger-and-freight vehicles from the residents and entrepreneurs. They come to the leaders and owners of logistics companies and force them to follow their orders.

"People are blackmailed and threatened with murder and torture of relatives. They are forced to use the available transport and personnel to service trips to the temporarily occupied Crimea and the Russian Federation. Probably, this is how the export of local and stolen goods is carried out, as well as the import of Russian goods into the Kherson region, which is much more expensive and of poorer quality compared to local ones. In Crimea, representatives of the occupation structures come to local entrepreneurs and put pressure on them to establish trade with Kherson. If entrepreneurs refuse, they are intimidated with physical violence and problems with business", Savchenko said.
