The Russian military-political leadership does not stop trying to integrate the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions into the legal space of the Russian Federation. Thus, since November 11, the issuing of documents of self-proclaimed territorial entities, in particular regarding participation in hostilities, has been stopped in this territory. The Command of the 1st and 2nd Army Corps of the Southern Military District of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has been given an order for the centralized transfer of monetary payments with personnel to financial institutions and to bank cards of the Russian Federation. Servicemen of these units were offered to continue their service on a contractual basis under Russian law. At the same time, these persons express fears about the annulment of documents and benefits assigned by the fake republics in case of refusal of the new contract.
In the temporarily captured territories of the Kherson region, the moral and psychological condition and discipline of Russian soldiers is deteriorating. A “dry law” was introduced in the village of Henichesk, and Russian authorities confiscated and removed alcoholic beverages from warehouses, shops, restaurants and other places of public catering.
