Some 157,000 Russians moved to Sevastopol during occupation, including civil servants, military personnel and members of their families.

That's according to Ukraine's National Resistance Center, Ukrinform reports.

"Since the occupation, 157,000 Russians have been brought to Sevastopol. The Russians themselves provide such data. Thus, during the period of occupation, the population of the city increased from 393,000 to 560,000, which was happily reported in the state duma of the terrorist country," the report said.

The Center noted that the increase in population had been ensured by Russian military personnel, members of their families, and civil servants.

It also added that the aggressor country is implementing the policy of changing the demographic composition in all temporarily occupied territories.

"Guest workers are moved en masse from other Russian regions to captured Ukrainian cities, and Ukrainians are deported forcibly or under pressure. At the same time, living conditions are being created in the regions, when obtaining an enemy's passport is the only possible way to survive in the temporarily occupied territory," the Center said.
