In Kherson region, Russia has zeroed out the length of service and social benefits for residents

After the occupation of part of the Kherson region, the local occupation administration effectively canceled the labor relations of residents with Ukrainian employers. This led to the fact that people lost their legal work experience and the right to social benefits guaranteed by Ukrainian law.

This was reported by the Center of National Resistance.

According to the invaders' decree, employees were to be forcibly reassigned under Russian law with new entries made in their work records. However, those citizens who left the occupied territories and went directly to Russia were outside this system. Without official reissuance of documents through the occupation authorities, they were left without confirmed seniority, accruals, and the right to full payments.

At present, Russian structures refuse to recognize Ukrainian seniority without proper registration through local collaboration structures. As a result, people who have lost contact with Ukraine have found themselves in a legal vacuum. Citizens who counted on the support of the aggressor are now forced to settle for minimal payments or are deprived of financial assistance altogether. The "social integration" promised by the occupiers turned out to be a mere formality that effectively nullified people's many years of labor achievements and did not provide them with any real rights or benefits.

Meanwhile, the medical system in the temporarily occupied part of Kherson region is also in a critical condition due to a lack of qualified personnel. At the same time, the occupation administration is actively using medical facilities for the needs of the Russian invaders, which leads to a reduction in the number of patients among the local population and the seizure of medical supplies in favor of the Russian army.

Thus, the so-called 'optimization' of inpatient treatment has begun in hospitals on the left bank of the Kherson region. According to activists, the occupation administration ordered medical institutions to reduce the number of patients, primarily elderly people with chronic diseases. Pensioners are offered early discharge and continue treatment at home, even if they need care or cannot move independently. Outpatient services are thus freeing up space to accommodate more Russian military personnel.
