The Trends

• At the checkpoint to the occupied area on the Donetsk-Mariupol highway the actions of Ukrainian security officials led to appearence of the huge queue of cars, people were staying in queques for up to two days, with the outside temperature being over 30 degrees. More than 200 outraged citizens came to the checkpoint. The military did not dare to use the weapons, but the situation is heating up every day. Chairman of the Donetsk regional military-civilian administration Zhebrivskyi promises to move the checkpoint to a different location to increase its capacity. He again promised to build "logistics centers" between the combat zone and the checkpoints where people will be able to buy essential goods. Experts believe that this is done in order to get the full control over the trade and financial flows in the occupied territories and to obtain the excessive profits from the sale of goods and products at inflated prices.
