The Russian military and political leadership, in order to win more time for the preparation and combat coordination of mobilized personnel, made an "interesting decision": units deployed on the front lines are being replenished at the expense of operatives of “security forces” working in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk region. At the same time, administrative and policing work in the temporarily occupied areas will be entrusted to the Russian FSB units.
