Ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories who were forced to take Russian passports to survive will not be held responsible for this.
This was stated by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets during a press conference, according to the journalist of UNN.
In order to survive in the TOT, unfortunately, Ukrainian citizens have to take a Russian passport. Legally, as a state, we do not recognize it - it is a means of survival. In my opinion, you cannot survive without a Russian passport. Will there be any responsibility after the de-occupation of the TOT for obtaining a Russian passport? No, there will not be
He clarified that if a person did not just take a passport, but also participated in the management of the occupation authorities, held leadership positions and other illegal actions, such actions will be legally assessed.
Recall
The Russian invaders have decided to intensify repressions against Ukrainians in the occupied Donetsk region who refuse to receive a Russian passport. This is because the occupiers have faced a significant drop in the rate of illegal issuance of Russian passports.
