The so-called "head" of the occupied village of Lazurne in the Kherson region, Alexander Dudka, has threatened to limit civilians' access to medications, including insulin. This is due to their refusal to obtain Russian passports, according to the Telegram channel "Sirena."

"An official document has been issued (by the occupying administration - Ed.) stating that medical supplies procured from the Russian budget will not be provided to foreign citizens, i.e., Ukrainian citizens. This primarily concerns insulin, which those who are citizens of another country have already experienced," the governor stated.

Dudka presented a list of children who have never attended the so-called Russian "schools" and threatened parents with criminal charges. He also threatened to put the children on buses, transport them to the demarcation line, and send them "to your Ukrainian schools."

"My esteemed residents, I invite you to make a decision now about how you will live, where you will live, and under which laws. If you don't like the laws of the Russian Federation, pack your belongings and leave," Dudka added.

Situation in the Kherson region

Ukrainian defense forces liberated Kherson in November 2022. However, the left-bank part of the region is still under occupation by Russian aggressors. As a result, the liberated settlements in the Kherson region are constantly being shelled by the enemy using artillery and tanks.
