This has been reported TASS.
Mizintsev emphasized that in Slavyansk, territorial defense militants conducted punitive raids to check local residents for “signs of pro-Russian opinion.”
According to him, the reason for the detention of local residents is “the history of calls with Russian numbers on phones, messages denouncing the current regime, as well as subscriptions to Russian channels on social networks”.

The colonel general added that militants extorted between $500 and $1,000 to escape torture. Dozens of detained citizens did not return home, now nothing is known about their fate.
