In the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk region, control over residents receiving international shipments is intensifying. This primarily concerns parcels arriving from European countries, according to Zhovta Strichka movement.
Collection of recipients' data
In Luhansk, postal service employees have been forced to record the personal data of people receiving international parcels.
Workers must write down the recipients' last names, residential addresses, and contact details.
The collected information must be handed over to representatives of the Russian law enforcement structures.
In this way, lists of residents who receive shipments from abroad are being compiled.
Special attention is given to parcels from Europe
Separate control has been established over parcels sent from European countries. Their delivery is carried out not directly, but via Russian cities.
How delivery works
As a rule, such shipments first arrive at logistics centers in Russia.
Most often, these are Rostov, Belgorod, and other cities used as transit points.
There, the parcel is received by the Russian postal operator. After that, it is forwarded to Luhansk as a domestic Russian shipment.
It is precisely these parcels that are under the closest scrutiny of the Russian authorities.
Russian forces have begun to deploy cheap reconnaissance drones based on the Molniya UAV in large numbers. It is reported that such devices are being used instead of more expensive attack drones.
The Russian military command has deployed airborne and naval infantry units to the southern direction of the front following successful actions by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
