Ukrainian Intelligence reports that Russia does not recognize its own passports issued on the territory of the "LDPR" [self-proclaimed Luhansk and Donetsk People’s republics], and their owners are not allowed to cross the Russian border.

Quote: "After the offensive of the Ukrainian Defence Forces, the mood of the pro-Russian residents of temporarily occupied areas of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts has changed dramatically.

Dissatisfaction with the conduct of the so-called "special operation" and the actions of the Russian government is observed."

There is a prevailing opinion that the Russian Federation surrenders the interests of the "republics". These sentiments have further strengthened after it became clear that Russian passports issued on the territory of temporarily occupied areas of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts do not have any legal force on the territory of the Russian Federation."

Details: It is noted that those who tried to leave the "LDPR" with such a passport were told at the Russian border:"you are nobody, a no-name."

Also, the information is spreading among the personnel of Russia’s 14th Separate Special Forces Brigade (military unit 74854) that one of the "special military operation" stages should be completed by 1 December, 2022.

After that, it is planned to withdraw regular Russian army units from some of the occupied territories of Ukraine.

Apparently, these territories will be transferred to the control of the so-called "volunteer battalions", probably, the 1st and 2nd Army Corps stationed in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, respectively.
