“In Kharkiv, militants of the territorial defense battalions, together with SBU officers, are conducting raids to identify local residents who express pro-Russian views or condemn the current Ukrainian government,” Mizintsev said.
He noted that, according to reliably established data, such raids had previously taken place in Nikolaev, Sumy, Chernigov and other settlements.
As Mizintsev added, participants in such actions check the phones of citizens, and if they find correspondence of a certain content in gadgets, as well as calls to numbers of Russian subscribers, then citizens are “detained and taken away in an unknown direction.”
“Dozens of detainees have not returned home to date,” he concluded.
Earlier, Mizintsev said that the Ukrainian security forces placed armored vehicles and multiple launch rocket systems on the territory of schools in Nikolaev.
