Starting January 1, 2025, residents of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine who do not receive a russian passport will lose access to social services. This information is being actively disseminated by the russian media, and the occupation authorities are resorting to blackmail, endangering the lives of the most vulnerable groups of the population.
Insulin-dependent citizens will be particularly affected, as they will not be able to obtain the necessary medicines without changing their citizenship. Given the shortage of medicines in pharmacies, this puts them in a critical situation.
By the end of 2024, the kremlin plans to force all residents of the occupied territories over the age of 14 to obtain enemy passports. Failure of local collaborators to implement these plans prompted the occupiers to increase their threats.
Forced passportization is part of the terrorist country's strategy to change the demographic composition of the occupied territories and legitimize its control over Ukrainian lands.
