In Mariupol, the occupiers are seizing apartments from local residents through “pseudo-courts”

The occupiers have intensified the process of seizing housing from Mariupol residents. Locals are being evicted en masse from their apartments under the pretext of registering “unowned property”.

This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation.

“Decisions on alienation are made through pseudo-courts without the participation or notification of the actual owners. Mariupol residents who try to return to their apartments are told that the housing no longer belongs to them,” the CPR noted.

The “commissions” of the occupiers describe and transfer all property to the new “settlers” – including appliances, furniture and personal belongings. The “new” apartments most often go to supporters of the Putin regime or participants in the Russian Federation’s aggressive war against Ukraine.

In other occupied regions, the occupiers are also taking away housing from Ukrainians: in Luhansk Oblast, Russia is conducting an “inventory”, transferring the selected territories for development and populating them with its own citizens.

“This is not just looting – this is a planned policy of expelling the Ukrainian population from the occupied territories in order to strengthen the influence of their government,” the CPD said.

It should be noted that the water crisis in the occupied Donetsk region has reached a critical level, water is supplied there once every few days or is absent altogether, and the situation is only getting worse .

It was previously reported that the Russians are conducting raids on civilians in the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region . They are looking for Ukrainian symbols that they did not have time to dismantle in order to destroy them.
