Details: According to Ukrainian intelligence, the seller and buyer agree on the exchange rate of the barter each time. Residents are also forced to buy products on credit at 10-20% interest.

Moreover, the invaders continue to abduct utility workers and former heads of the executive authorities, and they are taking data about voters out of the occupied region.
