The Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate believes that Russia has put its troops in the Donbas on high alert because of possible protests during “elections” in the self-proclaimed “Donetsk People’s Republics” and “Luhansk People’s Republics,” which are scheduled for November 11.
The Ministry of Defense’s spokesperson Dmytro Hutsuliak announced this at a news briefing, the Ukrainian News Agency reports.
He cited intelligence reports indicating that discontent is increasing among local residents in the non-government-controlled territories ahead of the November 11 "elections."
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the United States has called on residents of the non-government-controlled territories in the Donbas to boycott the November 11 “elections” in the self-proclaimed “Donetsk People’s Republics” and “Luhansk People’s Republics.”
