Russians to take away property from Ukrainians without Russian passports

"According to the so-called new laws, the owners of property located in the temporarily occupied territories have 30 days to personally appear at the local government and claim their rights to the property. The owner must provide an identity document, in particular, a passport of a citizen of Russia," said Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian Parliament’s Commissioner for Human Rights, in a comment to RBC-Ukraine.

If the property is not registered in the Russian system within 30 days, it is officially considered ownerless according to Russian law, which means that the Russian occupiers can expel a person from their apartment and nationalize it. Later, it will pass into the hands of municipalities, and then it will either be sold to a Russian who decides to move to the imaginary Mariupol closer to the sea or given to Russian soldiers or the FSB.

As noted in the article, the latest innovations of the occupation administration, at the Kremlin's behest, effectively put an end to any doubts about ignoring the pressure to obtain Russian citizenship.

Russians have increased the number of street checks in temporarily occupied territories. Occupation administrations have allowed ordinary soldiers to conduct random document and phone content checks.

Additionally, Russians are introducing a so-called informant system in the occupied territories. The invaders encourage the local population to report any disloyalty towards the occupation administration. Often, after such checks, the invaders arrest property owners, and the seized Ukrainian property is handed over to collaborators.
