The defense forces of Ukraine are causing significant losses in equipment to the Russian occupying forces. Every day, the Ukrainian military destroys 20 to 30 cars.
The Center of National Resistance reported that.
The invaders decided to compensate for their losses by stealing from the residents of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions. The order of the Russian Government confirmed this decision. The Kremlin has ordered all "nationalized" enterprises to give their equipment to the all-Russian fake social movement called "Narodny Front "For Russia" without charge through a donation agreement.
"This pseudo-social organization is a propaganda project of the Kremlin, which acts as a cover and aims to demonstrate "national support" for military actions. Its task is to simulate the voluntary transfer of material resources to the occupying forces from the Russian Federation's and temporarily occupied territories. It is noticeable that the list of equipment included even such vehicles as mopeds, motorcycles, scooters, which can be seen quite often recently in front-line videos of the defenders of Ukraine," the message reads.
Considering that these funds are extremely rarely on the balance sheet of enterprises, the occupiers succeeded in removing them from garage cooperatives and private households, which the Russian occupation administration previously recognized as "abandoned property." Also, vehicles are confiscated from citizens accused of cooperation with the defense forces of Ukraine or from those whose movable property was seized by Russian law enforcement agencies.
This mass seizure of equipment was organized to meet the needs of the occupation administrations of the Russian Federation and the engineering equipment of the positions of the Russian occupation troops on the temporarily occupied territories of the south and east of Ukraine. The Russians are increasingly using two-wheeled vehicles to transport personnel to protect themselves from damage by Ukrainian artillery and FPV drones. Also, the use of civilian equipment allows Russian propaganda to pass off the destruction of such transport as an attack on the civilian population.
