'Migration camps' built in occupied cities for Ukrainians without Russian passports

According to the article, the so-called transition period in the occupied territories ends in December 2024. Starting from 2025, Ukrainians who have not obtained Russian citizenship will be considered foreigners and subject to deportation. For this purpose, centers for the temporary detention of foreign citizens will be set up in the occupied regions.

"There are reports that the Russian authorities are allegedly planning to set up special camps for such persons, where they will be held as foreigners. This information is disturbing and emphasizes the intensification of repressive measures against the population of the temporarily occupied territories, but there are few concrete confirmed details about these camps," said the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, in a comment to RBC-Ukraine.

Many Ukrainians were held in similar centers when they were forcibly deported to Russia, but how they will look and function in the occupation, and where those Ukrainians who refused to obtain a Russian passport will be deported remains an open question.

RBC-Ukraine previously reported that Russians in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine are forcing people to re-register their property in accordance with Russian law. A Russian passport is required for this.

If the property is not registered in the Russian system within 30 days, it is officially considered "ownerless" under Russian law, which means the occupiers can evict a person from their own apartment.
