The occupiers seek to fulfill plans for passporting the population.

The Russians began to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine in order to fulfill plans for the passporting of the population. Without a Russian passport, people are blocked from withdrawing funds from Ukrainian cards.

“They are trying to block the withdrawal of hryvnias from Ukrainian cards as much as possible. These are people who receive pensions and social benefits. When withdrawing hryvnias, intermediaries charge 15-20%. In order to push out the hryvnia even more, the Russians banned it “officially” from January 1.” After that, raids on small businesses began. In the absence of the hryvnia, the occupiers force people to take payments from the Russian Federation. We are talking about 4,000 and 10,000 rubles. And those can be obtained only if you have a Russian passport,” the Center of National Resistance reported.

In many settlements in the temporarily occupied territories, payments from the Russian Federation have long been limited. In fact, the money was simply stolen.

“However, pensioners are forced to stand in queues for handouts from the Russians, because they are threatened with confiscation of their homes for non-payment of utility services. In general, the prices for TINs are greatly inflated, and humanitarian aid is distributed on a limited basis, giving priority to holders of Russian passports,” the center added.

The situation in the occupied territories of Ukraine

In the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region, the Russian occupiers are trying to restrict the civilian population and prevent them from receiving information. They made mobile communication available only to Russian operators.

In addition, the Russian occupiers continue to bring doctors from the Russian Federation to hospitals in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Medical institutions are reorienting themselves to the treatment of the military of the Russian army.

At the same time, in Alchevsk, Luhansk region, the occupiers started another wave of mobilization among the local population on January 9.
