Russian forces ramp up civilians' cars seizures in temporarily occupied Luhansk Oblast - National Resistance
Russians have stepped up civilian cars' confiscation in the occupied part of Ukraine’s Luhansk Oblast, marking a new wave of brazen seizures, the National Resistance Center (NRC) reported on June 20.
Even minor traffic violations can result in vehicle confiscation - moreover, citizens can lose their cars because of mere suspicion in some cases.
“This practice isn't new in the temporarily occupied territories,” NRC said.
“Luhansk Oblast's residents have already witnessed transport seizures, but it was mostly about specialized vehicles like excavators, tractors, or even boats.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
