Hospitals in the so-called ‘lpr’ are filled with injured invaders from Kharkiv axis. Almost everyone is taken there so that the people of belgorod and other regions close to the border of russia do not know the true extent of the losses of the russian army.
In the so-called “lpr”, on the one hand, they emphasise price control for socially important goods, and on the other hand, they allow entrepreneurs not to install cash registers in their shops. This decision was made for the territory of more than 440 settlements. This means that no one will check the price of goods at which they will be sold to people. The reasons mentioned by the invaders are the lack of regular transport links and the terrible state of the roads. In other words, they complain about the logistics and infrastructure they have destroyed over the years.
In the primary schools of Novopskov and Bilolutsk communities, the invaders are preparing children for possible terrorist attacks on these schools, not in theory, but in practice. Specifically, they rehearsed seizing the building and making school students lie on the floor, threatening them with mock weapons.
