This was stated by a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andriy Yusov on the air of the TEMACHPON on March 14. "We can confirm this information. We have received a number of interceptors, both conversations between security forces and conversations of locals who state that transport nodes are surrounded by security forces, there are checkpoints, there are threats," Yusov said.
A representative of the Ukrainian intelligence agency noted that Russian authorities are trying to use civilians as a "live shield" to protect the regime. At the same time, Yusov stressed that in some Russian settlements evacuation still began. It is about the city of Grayvoron. We will remind, on March 4, the "Russian Volunteer Corps" published a video address to the inhabitants of Kursk and Belgorod region, in which citizens were called for evacuation.
