Quote: "Forced passportisation of Ukrainian citizens in the Henichesk district in the temporarily captured [part of] Kherson Oblast continues.

Russian occupiers are constantly putting pressure on residents, threatening [them with] deportation and confiscation of property, and restricting movement between settlements."

Details: The invaders deliberately show their biased attitude towards the owners of Ukrainian passports.

Background: Dmytro Lubinets, Ukraine’s Human Rights Commissioner, is in disagreement with Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk, who is responsible for the reintegration of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, as she has recently advised Ukrainians residing in the occupied territories to refrain from obtaining Russian passports.
