Prisoners in Kherson region forced to obtain russian passports

In the Kherson region, invaders are forcing prisoners to apply for russian passports to increase "passportization" rates.

The Center for Combating Disinformation in the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine reports on Telegram.

The statement noted that in the city of Nova Kakhovka, Kherson region, the russian occupiers opened a point for receiving documents for obtaining russian citizenship.

"To increase the rate of 'passportization,' the invaders are forcing prisoners to apply for russian passports," the Center said.

In addition, according to collaborators in the Zaporizhzhia region, nationalist battalions staged a full inspection of the civilian population with a ban on entering the territory of ORDLO.

It is also reported that in Moscow, near the US Embassy, ​​the russians have created a DNR square, and on the site of the Azovstal plant, they plan to make an industrial park or recreation area.

In the Luhansk region, russian invaders claim that Ukrainian troops have blocked exits to the temporarily occupied territories.

In addition, in the temporarily captured Izium of the Kharkiv region, collaborators announced that education would take place according to the russian program.

Earlier, the British Intelligence reported that russia was likely to claim the occupation of the Kherson region as evidence of delivering improved governance and living standards to the Ukrainian people.

"In the occupied Kherson region, russia is forcibly aligning its administration with that of the russian federation by introducing the russian rouble as legal tender and employing russian teachers to introduce the russian curriculum and language to schools.

russia will highly likely claim its occupation of Kherson as evidence of delivering improved governance and living standards to the Ukrainian people," British intelligence said.

Kherson is the only city of regional significance that russian troops managed to occupy since the beginning of March. The russian forces established the illegal pro-russian administration in the town in April.

By cutting off Kherson region residents from Ukrainian TV, radio, and mobile service, occupiers attempt to isolate the Ukrainian people and try to introduce the rouble and russian passports and organize a pseudo-referendum, repeating the scenario of the Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic. For russia, annexing the Kherson region is a key to establishing a land bridge to Crimea.

Since early March, people have gathered in pro-Ukrainian rallies, proving that Kherson is a part of Ukraine. After a few powerful protests, the russian troops began to disperse the gatherings by shooting at people and using stun grenades.

Since the Kherson region has been temporarily occupied, russia's occupation forces have continued kidnapping and torturing civilians, especially local activists, volunteers, and people with an open pro-Ukrainian position. The humanitarian situation in the city is critical, with shortages of Ukrainian medicine and food supplies.

Since the occupation, there has been no official "green" corridor for civilians to evacuate from the region; people have been leaving their homes, risking their own lives. There have been cases when russian soldiers shot civilians in the evacuation convoys.
