According to the report of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom of March 11, those who refused passports of the Russian Federation are threatened by deportation to remote regions of Russia. According to the British military, 2. 8 million people living in temporarily occupied territories (Tot) have already received Russian passports. Russia cynically uses access to social services and health care as a tool for coercion to "certification".
In April 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree that puts Ukrainians who do not have a Russian passport in the position of foreigners or stateless persons. From July 1, 2024, their stay on the tot will become illegal. Recent statements by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the National Security Council of Russia, indicate that individual Ukrainians can send to remote areas of the Russian Federation, the British military said.
"The Kremlin pursues a continuous policy of Russification in TT. In another decree on military districts of February 26, 2024 it is said that Tot will now be part of the Southern military district Intelligence. It is important to note that receiving a passport of the Russian Federation under the pressure of the invaders is not a voluntary act. The Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmitry Lubinets emphasizes that such a procedure should be considered as violent.
