The occupation authorities in the Kherson region have begun to massively confiscate housing from absentee owners under the guise of "inventory". They are already compiling lists of apartments and houses that are being prepared for the Russian military and IDPs from Russia.
This was reported by the Center of National Resistance.
According to the CNS, during a "direct line" the so-called "head of the Kherson region" Volodymyr Saldo announced an order to conduct a full inspection of all "no one's property" in the seized territories of the Kherson region by December 1. On the same day, the occupier-controlled structures began publishing the first lists of apartments and houses that they had entered into the register as ownerless.
According to the National Resistance Center, the Russian military - both those fighting on the front line and contract soldiers in the rear - are in dire need of housing. Therefore, the occupation administrations are trying to urgently "replenish" the housing stock at the expense of the homes of Ukrainians who were forced to leave because of the war. In fact, the Russian authorities are going to transfer the IDPs' housing to the militants and their families.
This is not an inventory, but a systematic seizure of private property for the purpose of further settling the region with Russian citizens and changing the demographic situation. Local "administrations" have already received secret instructions: to record apartments where owners do not appear; to seal the premises; to draw up documents for "temporary management" of the property and to prepare lists for transfer to the ownership of the occupation structures.
In a number of districts, occupation officials are already walking around high-rise buildings, inspecting apartments without any permission from the owners: they write down addresses and immediately enter them into databases as "abandoned." Similar lists have already appeared in Nova Kakhovka, Skadovsk and Chaplynsk districts.
Once a property is included in such a register, a standard mechanism is triggered: fake courts establish the "absence of an owner," then the property is transferred to "municipal administration," and then to the military or IDPs brought in from Russia.
Recently, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine confirmed large-scale cases of cultural looting in Kherson, publishing information about stolen valuables from the regional art gallery named after Shovkunenko. During the occupation of the city, the occupiers took more than a thousand exhibits from the gallery. According to the War & Sanctions portal, the list already contains 1233 paintings, which is only a part of all illegally exported property.
