< p _ngcontent-sc137="" class="news-annotation">The trend that marked the beginning of high-ranking Russian invaders in Crimea in the winter-summer of 2022 has come to the temporarily occupied territories of Donbass. Representatives of the occupying special services, as well as some leaders of gangs, began to take their families to Russia.
According to channel 24 sources in the Ukrainian special services, there is a clear tendency to evacuate family members of the FSB or commanders of the so-called “DPR” and “LPR” was recorded in early October. By this time, only the leaders of the quasi-republics and persons close to them left the occupied territories in the East in some places in a panic.
However, especially cowardly leaders of pseudo-formations were constantly returned to their place by their curators, who themselves are far from the front line and outside the range of Ukrainian weapons. the baton from the Crimean colleagues
- Despite the rather panicky moods prevailing among the command of the Russian army in the Donbass, the special services-invaders and other “masters of life” in the Donbass held out for a long time without leaving the safe zone.
- However, the very fast counter-offensives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine proved that even the most protected representatives of the invaders can find themselves in an operational bag or encirclement within a few hours after a breakthrough in any direction.
- Moreover, the FSB officers and commanders of many terrorist units looked at the experience of their comrades in arms, who did not have time to leave the Kharkiv region in time and protect their families from falling into the hands of Ukrainian law enforcement officers and taking out the loot.
- It is precisely because of all these facts since the beginning of October, the Russian special services and the commanders of gangs close to them from the Donbass and the Luhansk region began a covert and relatively centralized evacuation of their families.
- They themselves cannot leave the temporarily occupied territories, therefore that they are afraid of being fired and sent to the front as soldiers. However, with the minimum task – the removal of wives, children, as well as acquired and squeezed property – the FSB officers cope quite effectively.
Unlike their Crimean counterparts, collaborators and invaders do not sell their houses, apartments, and dachas if their families leave. After all, housing in Donetsk and Luhansk costs almost nothing.
The wives of the Russian special services usually go to Russia in several cars and at night with security escort while moving through the occupied territories. The property is taken out by separate trucks. In general, the flight of the relatives of the FSB officers from the Donbass is not at all like how their colleagues left Crimea at the beginning of a full-scale invasion – without panic and chaos, without attracting too much attention to themselves among the local population.
Russian special services believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Sufficient mass removal of women and children of the occupiers from Donbass indicates that the faith of the FSB officers in the power of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is quite real. Representatives of the Russian special services, who understand the real situation at the front, are fully aware that the de-occupation of Donbass is a matter of time.At the same time, the fate of Donetsk, in comparison with Luhansk, is “sad”, because the mining capital is located practically on the line of demarcation, while in the Luhansk region Ukrainian defenders need to seriously advance towards the regional center.
FSB officers understand that all hopes for The “echeloned” lines of defense of the invading army are useless. Because the tactics used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces are incredibly effective and lead to the rapid collapse of the enemy front. The Ukrainian Defense Forces attack in small groups in all directions and areas, while the Russian command does not understand where it will the main blow and where to draw up reserves. However, when the direction of the breakthrough becomes clear, it is usually too late to react to it – Ukrainian soldiers are rapidly deepening behind enemy lines, carrying out sweeps and expanding bridgeheads. At the same time, large settlements are either in ticks or surrounded, because of which the Russians suffer heavy losses, and Ukraine returns the cities under its control.
