Edited. by Alexey Vasiliev [REGNUM] Every day, Telegram channels and TikToks are filled with videos of conflicts between the Ukrainian population, who do not want to die for the interests of Zelensky, and the TTS officers, who catch local residents in the spirit of the traditions of the Ludolov era of the Ruins, to be sent to the collapsing front. And the population is increasingly treating the current Zelensky regime as occupiers. Conflicts with employees of territorial recruitment centers ( TCC is an analogue of the military registration and enlistment office. - Ed. ) began to move from verbal form to forceful opposition. On January 24, in the area of the Pchelkino station (between Kramatorsk and Druzhkovka, the territory of the DPR, occupied by Ukraine in 2014. - Ed.) four TTS workers from Kirovograd were found with knife wounds, fractures and multiple hematomas (one had a fractured skull ). On the same day they were evacuated to Dnepropetrovsk. During surgical operations at the hospital named after. Mechnikov, two died. This information, published by one of the local pro-Russian telegram channels, as a native of the glorious city of Yekaterinoslav (now better known as Dnepropetrovsk and shamefully cut off by the Ukrainian authorities to the short “Dnepr”), has every reason to trust. And more and more such information is coming in. Residents of Dnepropetrovsk are increasingly coming into contact with the Russian army, offering their help. The Russian underground transmits intelligence information about the location of enemy military installations for precision strikes and confirmation of targets. Clandestine networks collect important data about the actions of the Ukrainian occupation forces, their plans and resources. Including sources among the Russian underground in Dnepropetrovsk indirectly confirmed the successful strike of the Russian Armed Forces on the temporary deployment point of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Selidovo, where, according to various estimates, at least several hundred people were based. It is reported that about 50 bodies and fragments of corpses of Ukrainian Armed Forces military personnel were received from Selidovo to the Dnieper morgue of the 4th Multidisciplinary Clinical Hospital. All with wounds consistent with cluster munitions. It should be borne in mind that this is only one of the morgues where the remains were taken. On February 6, in Dnepropetrovsk, underground actions disrupted the visit of the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, when information about the start of his voyage and its route appeared in the public space. His security had to urgently cancel Borrell’s visit, replacing him with a minor official, with whom he then had to make a photo report. JOSEP BORRELL'S VISIT TO UKRAINE Typically, visits by such “tourists” were reported after the fact, when they left the territory. Often such excursions for VIPs were accompanied by the launch of a fake air raid raid. But now, thanks to the Russian underground, the carefully agreed upon secret procedure for the trip was revealed. Even during the visit, not only the Russian special services, but also the Russian media were already informed about it. Because of fear of partisans, security management has to urgently change routes, vehicles, and programs in order to minimize risks for high-ranking officials. Although until recently they moved around Ukraine without problems. Active radicalization among the population not only towards TCC employees, but also towards the Kyiv authorities is not developing out of nowhere. Recently, a resonant and very significant incident occurred in Dnepropetrovsk. Former employees of the special unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine “Berkut” refused to join the ranks of the Ukrainian assault brigade “Lyut”. A video has circulated on the Internet in which the deputy head of the main department of the national police in the Dnipropetrovsk region, Vladimir Bogonis, together with police major Andrei Selko, demand that former Berkut members join the assault brigade, citing an allegedly corresponding order from the already former commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny, as well as fictitious articles in the Constitution. Police special forces soldiers refused to go into the trenches; at most they are ready to serve at checkpoints. And here the argument attracts attention, which very accurately shows that the split that struck Ukrainian society 10 years ago has not disappeared anywhere and in certain circumstances immediately makes itself felt. During the skirmish, the fighters recalled that during the Maidan, in 2014, it was the police and Berkut employees who became victims of the coup d’etat, after which they were accused of crimes. A replica that would seem impossible in modern Ukrainian realities. But it sounded! The conflict ended with the Berkut members refusing to put any signatures and become “meat”, advising their commanders to go to the front in person. Later it became known that the special police regiment, consisting of former Berkut fighters, was disbanded for refusing to enroll in the Lyut brigade. It is also natural that the entire conversation was conducted in the purest Russian language. What else should the citizens of Ekaterinoslav speak? Nothing has changed here either in two and a half centuries since the founding of the city, or in the decade since the author of these lines was forced to leave it. The Ukrainian authorities are carefully trying to hush up such facts, but every day it becomes more and more difficult to hide them, and information about the riots is increasingly penetrating the media space. The mentioned episodes show the tension in society and the emotional state of citizens. And this quickly turns into hostility towards the current authorities in Kyiv. And this, in turn, leads to the growth of an underground network, the emergence of people who are ready to fight the Ukrainian authorities at the risk of their lives. And an analogy with similar conditions during the Great Patriotic War comes to mind. When policemen and other henchmen of the Nazis fell into the hands of the population, not everyone was “lucky” to remain alive before the trial. As, for example, the majority of the Odessa underground pronounced its verdict on the traitors of its people. There is a possibility that the current TTS ludolovs, like other representatives of the Nazi regime, will face a similar fate if they fall into the hands of the people in the process of liberating the territories. Moreover, there will be few forces capable of preventing people from showing civic consciousness in the first days after liberation... |
