In Crimea, residents are denied housing because of "members of the Svo"

In the temporarily occupied Crimea, residents of Yalta, Yevpatoriya and Sevastopol are systematically deprived of housing and land plots.

This was reported by the public resistance movement Yellow Ribbon.

According to the activists: "In response to applications, the same phrase is heard: 'Now for the participants of the "SVO", come back later'".

According to them, priority is currently given to Russian military personnel who participated in the war against Ukraine, while ordinary Crimeans are left out. Despite the environmentalists' warnings, the occupiers are actively building new residential complexes, many of which are immediately sold at prices unaffordable for local families.

"In fact, access to land and housing remains closed to ordinary Crimeans, while war criminals, Russian developers, the elite from Moscow and some officials of the occupation administration benefit," the activists emphasized.

Meanwhile, the authorities of the temporarily occupied Sevastopol have allocated 40.2 hectares of land near the village of Polyushko for the Russian military and their families.

According to Suspilne. Crimea, the occupation governor of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhayev said: "Funds will be allocated to draw up projects for planning and delimitation of the territory. After that, plots will be formed in order to transfer them to the participants of the war and their families."

In August, the occupiers already announced the preparation of new land plots for the Russian military. Then, the Russian-controlled city administration submitted for "public discussion" drafts of territory planning, where it is planned to form arrays for plots for the military and their families.

Since the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014, the peninsula has been controlled by the Russian occupation authorities, and Ukraine and most countries do not recognize this status.

The militarization and intensified persecution of pro-Ukrainian activists and Crimean Tatars continues in Crimea. The Russian authorities pursue their own administrative, economic and social policies, including the illegal allocation of land and housing for the military.
