This refers to apartments, houses, and premises where it is allegedly "impossible to establish the owner" or "documents are missing."
Now such objects will be officially transferred to occupation administrations or "new residents" - military personnel, police, officials, and teachers whom Russia is bringing into the regions.
The Center for Countering Disinformation reported that earlier, similar seizures of property occurred through regional "decrees" or decisions of pseudo-courts with the tacit consent of Moscow.
"Now the Kremlin is legalizing this looting at the federal level," the CCD added.
