Occupiers are searching for "suspicious" individuals in the Luhansk oblast villages, demanding to exchange the found Ukrainian passports for russian ones Russian occupiers conduct searches in the northern villages of the Luhansk oblast, which were occupied after a full-scale invasion, in search of "suspicious" people. A resident of one of the villages, formerly part of Bilovodsk (now part of Starobilsk district), reported this to OstroV on April 28.
"Six or seven armed soldiers arrived", - the source recounts. According to her, some of the occupiers spread out across the yard, searching cellars, sheds, toilets, and other outbuildings. The rest went into the house, where they searched every room. They did not look into drawers but asked to see documents.
"When they saw our Ukrainian documents, they asked why we hadn't received russian passports yet and ordered us to do it urgently", - the village resident says.
The occupiers also asked residents if they had seen anyone "suspicious" in the village.
Thus, it was precisely on this street and the neighboring one that the russians searched every household without exception. Similar raids took place, according to OstroV sources, in other villages of the northern districts. Moreover, upon discovering that some residents had not received russian passports in two years, the occupiers were less polite than in the case described above and harshly ordered them to urgently change their documents.
Earlier, OstroV reported that the occupiers had increased their vigilance in the Luhansk oblast due to fears of "terrorist threats". It was reported that control was being tightened at some facilities in the occupied region. It was also reported that meetings of more than fifty people in the "LNR" from April 27 would be coordinated with the FSB, as well as with local "Ministry of internal affairs" and the commandant's office.
In particular, in Starobilsk district, this is associated with the liquidation of collaborator Valeriy Chaika on April 1, confirmed by the occupiers, who called on citizens to "be vigilant".
