Occupants threaten to deprive Ukrainians who have not issued a Russian passport of the right to reside
Kyiv • UNN
Starting in 2025, the Russians plan to deprive Ukrainians without Russian citizenship of the right to reside in the occupied territories. Refusal to obtain a Russian passport will result in restrictions on the rights to healthcare, employment, and social benefits.
In the temporarily occupied territories, Russians promise to deprive those Ukrainians who refuse to issue documents certifying the identity of a "citizen of the Russian Federation" of their right to reside. This was reported by the Center of National Resistance (CNR), UNN reports.
Details
Starting from January 2025, Russians promise to deprive "stateless persons" of the right to reside in the TOT.
These "persons" are local residents whom the enemy makes "illegal migrants" in their own homes. After changing their status, Ukrainians will be restricted in their rights to healthcare, work, and social benefits.
Employees of the Russian occupation administrations are currently informing all enterprises under their control about the mandatory passportization of workers and threatening them with dismissal if they refuse.
Recall
The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine statedthat Ukrainians will not be tried for receiving a Russian passport under duress in the occupied territories. Such documents have no legal force and are not recognized in Ukraine and the world.
