Russian invaders kidnap men en masse in the temporarily occupied territories and demand a ransom
The amount for a "return to normal life" depends on the condition of the family and ranges from 10 to 30 thousand US dollars.
This is evidenced by new interceptions, as well as operational information from the SBU, received from the temporarily occupied territories.
For example, here are a few appeals from citizens to the so-called "provisional military administration of Russia" in Melitopol, Zaporozhye region:
💬 Your guys just arrived from the commandant's office, locked my husband in the trunk and took him away. No documents were provided, nothing anywhere ...
💬 Twisted, loaded into the trunk. They took the car, the walk-behind tractor ... they said that they were from the police ...
💬 They took my husband away and said that they were taken to Melitopol to the 58th army or the 58th army took it away. What do i do?
The answer to all these questions is approximately the same, that they are not solved by phone.
And already upon arrival, the relatives are announced the price and bidding begins.
