The head of Dagestan called residents protesting against power outages puppets of "pro-Ukrainian agents"

According to the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, the people who took to the streets because of the rolling blackouts are puppets of "pro-Ukrainian agents." He stated this during a meeting with members of the Public Chamber.
 
“While our servicemen are defending their homeland at the front, special forces are waging an information war with our country and the republic. They are trying to push the Dagestanis to destabilize the socio-political situation, turning them into puppets in the hands of skilled puppeteers. These are pro-Ukrainian agents,” Melikov said, referring to the telegram channel of the head of the administration of the republic.

The head of the region added that for enemies the problems of the republic are a pretext for provocations, and unauthorized actions become a welcome indicator that their activities achieve certain goals. He stressed that road closures in Makhachkala during power outages cannot remedy the situation, but only create fertile ground for enemy forces.
