Occupied Enerhodar may shut down Ukrainian mobile operators and Internet providers, as well as block the operation of the Ukrainian banking system.

Quote from Orlov: "In Enerhodar, the occupiers have stopped handing out the so-called ‘one-time financial aid’  of 10 thousand rubles [approximately 190 US dollars] to pensioners.

Either the money has run out, or they have already collected enough passport data from elderly people for further fraudulent manipulations with fake referendums or something like that.

Instead, the Ruscists have announced that Enerhodar had opened a point for accepting documents for Russian citizenship and started to conduct a broad advertising campaign about the paper with the lowest rating in the world."

Details: Orlov added that there are rumours actively spreading in Enerhodar that Ukrainian mobile operators will be completely disconnected from next week and that terminals for non-cash payments in hryvnia will allegedly stop operating.

On 29 June, this caused a great stir to withdraw cash from bank cards.

"Of course, not for free, but for a considerable percentage for the withdrawal of funds. Given that this ‘business’ is controlled by the occupiers themselves, it is clear where this came from and who benefits from it," said Orlov.

Over the past week, the Russians have again started taking on the Internet-providers.

"It has been announced that a Crimean provider is entering Enerhodar. This will allow the invaders to block Ukrainian news resources or at least make such an attempt. This is one of the priorities for the occupiers," the mayor said.
