The occupiers are intensifying filtration measures in the temporarily occupied territories and are unsuccessfully fighting the hryvnia.
In the temporarily occupied territories, Russians are trying to find the Ukrainian underground. Therefore, they have tightened the police and administrative regime in the TOT and are actively checking citizens. Russians conduct raids and check phones at checkpoints. The measures seem to be ineffective, so the occupation administrations decided to extract at least some benefit from such inspections. Now, when checking phones. The occupiers demand that the applications of Ukrainian banks, including Oschadbank, Privatbank, and Monobank, be removed.
This is due to the so-called decree on the transition of the TOT to the ruble zone. The occupiers want to limit the use of the hryvnia among local residents as much as possible.
Therefore, The Center for National Resistance calls for caution and leaving the region if possible.
