The occupiers, realizing that they are committing violence and lawlessness, try not to be caught on CCTV and try to get rid of witnesses to their criminal actions. All this indicates that the occupying forces are afraid of publicity and documentation of their activities.

The  Zaporozhye regional military administration reports about it.

In their instructions to personnel regarding information behavior on the territory of Ukraine, the invaders recommend that their subordinates strictly follow certain rules.

In addition to the standard bans on posting photos, the occupiers are recommended to encrypt phone numbers, changing one of the numbers to a certain number of units, forbid the use of different messengers, be as restrained in their conversations. It would seem – a standard set of prohibitions and recommendations. But among them there are those that are unique to the occupying forces fighting on foreign soil. In particular, Russian information security instructors recommend not to take food from the local population, not to give your real name, to cover your face from surveillance cameras. Then in the original language it sounds like this: “If you screwed up, try not to leave local witnesses.”
