The occupation authorities of Russia in the left-bank Kherson region and other temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories continue to restrict the rights of Ukrainians in their native land.

This was reported by the press service of the National Resistance Center.

The Center's post says that in the temporarily occupied territories, Russians have banned medical examinations for Ukrainians. In this way, they encourage local residents to obtain a Russian passport. When obtaining a Russian passport, Russians force Ukrainians to write a renunciation of Ukrainian citizenship, although this is not recognized by Ukrainian law and is not required by Russian law. Ukrainians are required to obtain Russian passports in order to participate in Putin's so-called elections.

The occupiers are also increasing the turnout in the temporarily occupied territories by forcing the Russian Armed Forces personnel to vote.

It is noted that the main task of the "presidential elections" in the TOT is not to elect Vladimir Putin as president, because elections in Russia are not a tool for changing the government, but a "high turnout" that should allegedly indicate support for the occupation by the locals. To increase the number of people who voted, the Russians organized "elections" in their occupation units located in the TOT. The deputy policemen are responsible for the turnout. The occupation troops have to complete the voting by March 15, and their ballots will become the basis for falsifying the turnout.

Earlier it was reported that in the occupied part of Kherson region and other regions of the country, Russians have come up with a way to increase the list of "ownerless property" in order to squeeze it from residents of the temporarily occupied territories who have left the region. Now, Russians do not actually recognize "powers of attorney" because they demand that the owner of the property indicate the country where the property is located.

Also, seconded police officers from the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation conducted a raid in the Genichesk district in search of the underground. During the raid, the occupiers blocked the village, searched houses and tried to identify informants of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
