Invaders in occupied areas threaten to deport Ukrainians who refuse Russian passports

Ukrinform
The Russians expanded the list of repressions in the temporarily occupied territories by deporting those Ukrainians who refuse Russian citizenship.

"The Russians force employees of state-owned enterprises to fill out ‘migration cards’ that allow only a temporary stay in the temporarily occupied territories. All residents of temporarily occupied territories who refused to receive a Russian passport are required to fill out such ‘migration cards’. After a certain period of time, Ukrainians who still have not received a ‘Russian passport’ are threatened with deportation," the National Resistance Center reports.

It is noted that significant differentiation is seen within the occupied territory. In Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, the "trial" period will last 90 days, and in Donetsk and Luhansk regions – twice as long, 180 days.

As reported, the occupiers do not provide medical assistance to Ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories who refused Russian passports.
