The leader appointed by Russia in the Ukrainian region of Donetsk, which was annexed by Russia, has introduced a curfew, as revealed in a decree made public on Sunday.
According to the decree issued by Denis Pushilin, civilians are prohibited from being on the streets and in public areas from 11 p.m. until 4 a.m. on Mondays through Fridays.
Furthermore, the decree explicitly bans gatherings, protests, and demonstrations, as well as any other large gatherings in areas controlled by Russia in the Donetsk region unless they receive explicit permission from the Operational Headquarters for Military Threat Response in the Donetsk People’s Republic.
Pushilin’s decree, signed on September 18, also includes provisions for “military censorship of postal mail and messages transmitted via telecommunications systems,” along with control over telephone conversations.
In addition to these measures, Pushilin’s order involves the establishment of checkpoints and security posts at the borders with the Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia regions.
