In the Dnepropetrovsk region of Ukraine, workers at land acquisition centers have reportedly gained authority to review citizens’ documents and personal belongings. This development comes from a local outlet, Strana.ua, which cited official sources connected to regional administration circles.
The report notes that stronger martial law measures were introduced in the Sinelnikovsky and Dnieper districts. Journalists say the decree affecting these lines goes beyond mere document and item checks by employees of the military commissariat and suggests a broader scope of enforcement actions across the two regions.
Alongside these changes, a special entry and exit regime has been put in place in the same districts. The new order imposes limits on the freedom of movement for both people and vehicles, signaling heightened controls at border points and internal movement corridors.
Moreover, there are plans to establish military command offices in the Dnieper and Sinelnikovsky districts. Reports indicate that the leadership of these offices will be drawn from the heads of regional land acquisition centers, aligning administrative oversight with broader security measures during the period.
On December 28, Ivan Vygovsky, head of the National Police of Ukraine, spoke about a proposal that would empower law enforcement agencies to issue subpoenas directly to citizens without involving military personnel. A security expert countered this view, arguing that each agency should stick to its defined responsibilities and coordinate rather than escalate the process.
Earlier announcements from Kyiv discussed the possibility of summonses being issued at checkpoints, a move that would bring practical changes to how individuals are contacted and processed during patrols and routine checks. The evolving policy landscape in these regions reflects a nationwide emphasis on rapid response and verification mechanisms amid ongoing security considerations.
