The occupiers are planning to build new prisons in the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson region.

This was reported by the National Resistance Center.

The occupying authorities, represented by the so-called "governor" Saldo, met with the head of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Russian Federation Arkady Guestev.

The official goal is to "restore and build" correctional facilities on the seized territory. However, according to sources, the real goal is to create an extensive network of detention facilities to hold civilians suspected of "disloyalty" as well as its own military deserters.

Russia has already identified a number of locations, mostly on the basis of old pre-trial detention centers and industrial facilities, preparing a new system of repression and terror in the region.

Earlier, the CNS reported that the Russian authorities in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine have come up with a way to subsidize collaborators by providing them with crop subsidies.

Under the guise of supporting the production of potatoes and vegetables, the so-called "government" provides money only to loyalists. A central element of the scheme is forcing farmers to sell their crops for nothing to proxy firms that export Ukrainian products to Russia. The CNS emphasizes that these subsidies are taking place while the majority of the population is surviving without water and electricity.

We would like to remind you that the subsidy for IDPs to pay for housing in Mykolaiv and Kherson regions will be calculated individually for each IDP family.

For many internally displaced persons (IDPs), housing remains a major problem, especially due to high rental costs. To support IDPs who cannot cover these costs on their own, the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine and the Government have introduced a new program - a subsidy for rent.
