In the TOT of Kherson region, the occupants are collecting lists of people under the guise of "checking" property: why is it necessary?

In the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson region, the Russian administration of Skadovsk is creating lists of citizens under the guise of "checking" real estate documents.

According to the National Resistance Center, this is actually a tool to strengthen control over local residents and prepare for repression.

Residents who live in houses with "acts" issued by the occupants are forced to come to the administration in person or send copies of their documents via a chatbot.

The Resistance Center emphasized that such actions violate international law and are an attempt to collect more information to put pressure on the population.

These "inventories" have already been used by the occupiers to deprive those who have renounced Russian citizenship of their homes. People living in housing under the illegal "acts" of the occupation authorities are at risk of losing their homes.

The enemy does not stop the process of forcing residents of the temporarily occupied territories to obtain Russian passports. For example, on the left bank of the Kherson region, the occupiers stopped issuing coal for heating private households to those who have not received a Russian passport. One can receive coal or compensation only if they have red waste paper.

Meanwhile, starting February 5, 2025, the Kremlin regime will introduce a new law "On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation." According to it, Ukrainians who have not received a Russian passport or changed their citizenship in the temporarily occupied territories will not be able to legalize their relations.

In addition, it is now possible to top up a mobile account in the TOT only with a Russian passport or authorization through the Russian portal of public services. This innovation is part of the enemy's strategy to tighten control over Ukrainians and speed up forced passportization. From now on, anyone who wants to use mobile communication must provide personal data, which will allow the occupiers to more accurately track the owners of the numbers.

According to recent reports, 240,000 people in the Kherson region were forced by Russians to exchange their Ukrainian passports for Russian ones.
