Hders of ‘LPR/DPR’ passports not allowed to enter Russia – intelligence

According to Ukrinform, the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense said this in a statement posted on its website.

According to intelligence, after the offensive of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, the sentiments of pro-Russian residents living in the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions changed dramatically. They are dissatisfied with the conduct of the so-called "special eration" and the actions of the Russian government. There is a prevailing inion that Russia surrenders the interests of the "republics." These sentiments strengthened after it became clear that Russian passports issued in certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions do not have legal force in Russia.

"At least those who tried to leave 'LPR/DPR' with such a passport are being explained at the Russian border that 'you are nobody and your name means nothing'," the intelligence agency said.

In addition, information is spreading among the personnel of the Russian military's 14th Separate Special Purpose Brigade (military unit 74854) that one of the stages of the "special military eration" should be completed by December 1. After that, Russia allegedly plans to withdraw regular units of its army from part of the temporarily captured territories of Ukraine. Apparently, these territories will be transferred to the contr of the so-called "vunteer battalions," like the 1st (Donetsk) and 2nd (Luhansk) army corps.
