Checkpoints were put up at all entrances to Sevastopol last night and the borders to the city are guarded by groups of people, police units, and traffic police.
All suspicious cars and buses will be checked.
“We are now talking about the protection of the people of
Sevastopol,” a person involved in the organization of the checkpoints
told reporters.
According to the Sevastopol news portal ForPost, the construction of
the checkpoints is being coordinated by Alexei Chaly, chairman of the
coordination council of the Sevastopol city directorate, and any
conflicts will be resolved in coordination with the Sevastopol
anti-terrorist center, which was created on Tuesday.
It was reported earlier that the participants of an extraordinary
session of the Sevastopol City Council on February 24 decided to set up
the council’s executive body called the Sevastopol municipal directorate
in order to keep the city functioning, and Chaly became its chairman.
Sevastopol currently has a city council and a city state
administration, but does not have an executive committee of the city
council. A law on the hero city Sevastopol has not been adopted. A draft
version of the law is currently in the parliament.
